HOW IMPORTANT IS THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT AND THE SWAB METHOD IN TAKING THE SAMPLE FOR PCR?
Swab sampling is very popular nowadays, especially in diagnosing COVID-19 using PCR. However, in fact, swab sampling is not only for COVID-19 cases, but also for various types of viruses and other microorganisms in various locations, for example from the oral cavity, nasal cavity and even anus.
ACUTE KIDNEY FAILURE DUE TO COVID-19
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is sudden kidney damage that occurs within hours or days. AKI causes a buildup of waste products in the blood, making it difficult for the kidneys to maintain fluid balance in the body. AKI can also affect other organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs. AKI often occurs in patients who are in hospitals, in intensive care units, and especially in older adults. AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine of 0.3 mg / dL within 48 hours or a 50% increase in serum creatinine values within 7 days. Baseline serum creatinine is the baseline serum creatinine value. AKI onset starts from the first day when the serum creatinine value changes. The AKI stage was determined by the peak value of serum creatinine levels after AKI detection, with an increase of 1.5-1.9, 2.0-2.9, and ≥3 times from the baseline which were then classified as stages 1, 2, and 3.
DUET HANDAL INDIKATOR RESPON ANTIBODI DALAM KASUS COVID-19:
Virus COVID-19 baru disebut sebagai SARS-CoV-2 yang masuk ke dalam tubuh dapat terdeteksi oleh sistem imunitas tubuh dan menyebabkan sistem imun memproduksi antibodi untuk memusnahkannya. Keberadaan antibodi untuk membasmi virus COVID-19 bisa dideteksi melalui rapid test antibodi.Produk ini merupakan tes cepat immunochromatographic assay yang menggunakan kombinasi partikel berwarna berlapis antigen SARS-COV-2 untuk mendeteksi antibodi IgG dan IgM terhadap SARS-CoV-2 dalam whole blood, serum, atau plasma. Produk ini dapat mendeteksi infeksi primer dan sekunder dari SARS-CoV-2
IDENTIFIKASI CEPAT DAN AKURAT COVID-19 DENGAN RAPID TEST ANTIGEN
Selain tes PCR, rapid test juga kerap digunakan sebagai pemeriksaan awal COVID-19. Sesuai namanya, hasil rapid test bisa langsung diketahui dalam waktu yang singkat, biasanya hanya sekitar beberapa menit atau paling lama 1 jam untuk menunggu hasil pemeriksaan keluar. Tes antigen biasanya digunakan dalam diagnosis patogen pernapasan, termasuk virus influenza
JENIS RAPID TEST COVID - 19 DAN KRITERIA PRODUK YANG BAIK
Berbagai cara untuk penegakan diagnosa penyakit COVID-19, dimana PCR sebagai gold standard. Namun, saat ini diperlukan pemeriksaan yang lebih cepat tetapi tetap akurat. Saat ini, terdapat dua jenis rapid test yang dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi keberadaan virus corona (SARS-CoV-2) di dalam tubuh manusia yaitu rapid test COVID-19 antigen dan rapid test COVID-19 antibodi
