(1, 3)-Beta-D-Glucan (BDG) Test in Udaipur

What is a (1,3)-Beta-D-Glucan (BDG) Test?

A (1,3)-Beta-D-Glucan (BDG) Test is a blood test that measures the level of Beta-D-Glucan, a component found in the cell walls of many fungi. Elevated levels of Beta-D-Glucan in the blood may indicate the presence of an invasive fungal infection, especially in people with weakened immune systems.

This test is suggested to those individuals who are prone to get infected with fungal infections such as individuals undergoing chemotherapy, transplant patients and individuals who are hospitalized for long durations of time. The BDG test enables one to diagnose fungal infections in the early stages.
