<\/p>\nTypes of rapid tests that really change the approach<\/h2>\n
New generation blood glucose meter<\/h3>\n
Glucose level \u2014 without a finger prick, via a sensor that works in real time. Data is automatically saved in the mobile application.<\/p>\n
Rapid troponin test<\/h3>\n
Helps quickly rule out or confirm myocardial infarction in patients with chest pain \u2014 in 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Rapid infection diagnostic panel<\/h3>\n
Combination of markers: hepatitis, HIV, syphilis \u2014 one blood sample, one cassette test, one result.<\/p>\n
Visual sensor test for liver enzymes<\/h3>\n
It is being developed as a technology of the future: changing the color of the reagent directly on the test chip.<\/p>\n
What is important to know about quality<\/h2>\n
Not all rapid tests are equally accurate. Some are certified and undergo rigorous validation, while others are only indicative. The quality depends on:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
method (immunochromatography, electrochemistry, photometry)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
manufacturer (there is a big difference between CE marking and internal self-test)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
correctness of execution (time, temperature, sample, storage)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
An area where rapid tests have already become the standard<\/h2>\n

Pediatrics<\/strong>: rapid tests for rotavirus, streptococcus, adenovirus<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Cardiology<\/strong>: troponins, BNP<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Reproductive medicine<\/strong>: ovulation test, hCG<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Infectious diagnostics<\/strong>: Covid-19, flu, hepatitis<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Emergency medicine<\/strong>: determination of electrolytes, creatinine, pH<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What will happen next?<\/h2>\n
The trend is clear: the rapid test is no longer just a convenient tool and is becoming part of the medical journey. In the future, most of these tests will be integrated into mobile platforms, automatically transmitting data to the doctor and allowing patients to monitor their progress without leaving home.<\/p>\n
Express analyses are not a compromise between accuracy and speed. They are a technology that provides a timely reference point. And the right decision for a doctor, as always, begins with correctly collected facts.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
