What This Test Measures
The test evaluates a variety of biomarkers present in the tissue fluid. These biomarkers can include proteins, enzymes, or other substances that reflect cellular activity, inflammation, or disease presence. The specific substances tested may include markers for cancer, immune response, or organ function, depending on the clinical indication guiding the sample collection.
Why It’s Done
Your healthcare provider may order this test if you have symptoms or a medical condition that suggests an issue with tissue function, such as unexplained pain, abnormal growths, or signs of inflammation. It can also be used to monitor treatment progress or diagnose conditions like infections, autoimmune diseases, or certain cancers.
Sample Collection and Preparation
A small sample of tissue fluid is collected during a biopsy or surgical procedure. The fluid is then processed and analyzed in a lab to detect specific biomarkers. This process ensures that only relevant substances are measured for accurate results.
Common Conditions Monitored
This test can help diagnose or monitor conditions such as tumors, infections, inflammatory diseases, or metabolic disorders. It may also be used to assess tissue response to treatment or identify early signs of disease progression.
Clinical interpretation
How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.
