Hepatitis D is an infectious disease caused by the Hepatitis D Virus (HDV). This virus is unique because it is unable to multiply without the simultaneous presence of the hepatitis B virus. Because of this, HDV infection always develops together with hepatitis B, complicating the course of the disease and increasing the risk of cirrhosis and liver failure. Hepatitis D is particularly dangerous for people with chronic hepatitis B, because it is in them that HDV often causes a rapid deterioration of the condition. Timely diagnosis allows you to avoid serious complications and correctly adjust the treatment. You can learn more about diagnostic methods on the laboratory website: https://medilab.km.ua To take a PCR test for hepatitis D or get a consultation, follow the link: https://medilab.km.ua/analizy How is hepatitis D transmitted?

Less commonly, infection is possible through sexual contact or from mother to child during childbirth. Ways of transmission of hepatitis D Explanation Parenteral...

Hogweed is a plant that has become a real environmental problem in Ukraine in recent years. Invading fields, roadsides, and homesteads, hogweed not only threatens nature, but also poses a real danger to human health. Some types of hogweed, in particular Sosnovsky's hogweed, contain furanocoumarins - substances that cause severe photochemical skin burns. Contact with this plant is especially dangerous in the summer, when toxic compounds are activated under the influence of sunlight. If you have had contact with hogweed, do not delay. It is important not only to provide first aid, but also to pass the appropriate tests to monitor the condition of the body. More information about possible examinations is available on the laboratory website: https://medilab.km.ua Consultation and registration for tests are available at the link: https://medilab.km.ua/analizy What is hogweed and why is it dangerous?

Celiac disease is a chronic disease of the small intestine caused by intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. In celiac disease, the consumption of gluten-containing foods causes inflammation of the small intestine mucosa, which leads to damage to its villi, impaired absorption of nutrients, and the development of various complications. To prevent the progression of the disease and avoid serious consequences, it is important to conduct a timely comprehensive examination. Medilab Plus offers advanced genetic testing for celiac disease using the PCR method - you can learn more about the service on the website: https://medilab.km.ua Information about preparation, registration, and consultations is available at: https://medilab.km.ua/analizy What is celiac disease and why is it dangerous Celiac disease is not just a food allergy, but a genetically determined autoimmune disease. When gluten is consumed by a person with celiac disease, an immune reaction occurs that leads to inflammation of the small intestine, villous atrophy, and impaired absorption of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. This can cause a number of complications, including: chronic...

Tryptase is one of the key indicators of allergic and systemic reactions of the body. Determining its level in the blood helps to identify serious immunological disorders, diagnose anaphylaxis, assess the risk of allergic reactions, or confirm mastocytosis.

Chronic fatigue is a condition that can significantly affect the quality of life. It manifests itself as a constant feeling of exhaustion, even after a full rest. Often people attribute this condition to stress, overload or lack of sleep, but sometimes the causes may be deeper and require medical diagnosis. To understand what exactly causes chronic fatigue, it is important to pass the appropriate laboratory tests. In modern medical laboratories, such as MediLab+, comprehensive studies are available that will help identify possible disorders in the body. The main causes of chronic fatigue Before considering the tests, it is worth understanding what can cause prolonged exhaustion. Among the most common causes: Vitamin and microelement deficiencies - a lack of iron, vitamin D, group B or magnesium can cause constant fatigue. Hormonal disorders - problems with the thyroid gland or adrenal glands affect energy levels. Anemia - low hemoglobin levels mean insufficient oxygen supply to tissues, which causes weakness. Infectious diseases...

The thyroid gland is one of the most important endocrine glands in the human body. It is responsible for regulating metabolism, energy levels, the functioning of the heart, nervous system, and many other processes. However, disorders in its functioning can remain unnoticed for a long time, causing serious health consequences. That is why it is important to take thyroid hormone tests on time to prevent the development of diseases and correct possible disorders. To get accurate laboratory results, you should contact a trusted medical center. At Medilab+, you can quickly and conveniently take thyroid hormone tests and get reliable results. The main functions of the thyroid gland The thyroid gland produces several important hormones that affect the functioning of the body: Thyroxine (T4) is the main thyroid hormone that regulates metabolism, body temperature, and energy levels. Triiodothyronine (T3) is the active form of the hormone that affects cellular metabolism, the functioning of the heart, and the nervous system. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone...

Anemia is a pathological condition that occurs due to a decrease in the level of hemoglobin and/or the number of red blood cells in the blood.
