The AFB Stain-PD (Peritoneal Dialysis) Fluid Test is a critical diagnostic procedure used to detect acid-fast bacilli (AFB)
Particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in peritoneal dialysis fluid. This test is essential for diagnosing tuberculous peritonitis, a serious condition that can occur in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
The AFB Stain-PD Fluid Test involves collecting a sample of fluid from the peritoneal cavity during a routine peritoneal dialysis procedure. The collected fluid is then subjected to a special staining technique, typically using Ziehl-Neelsen stain or fluorochrome stain, to identify any acid-fast bacilli present. This test helps confirm the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is vital in diagnosing TB-related infections in the abdominal cavity.
This test is recommended for patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis who present with Symptoms of abdominal infection, A history of tuberculosis exposure, Weakened immune systems, particularly those with HIV or other conditions that compromise immunity.
