About PH Body Fluids
Key Highlights
-
Provides critical information about the body's acid-base balance and metabolic status.Helps diagnose and monitor conditions like acidosis, alkalosis, kidney disease, and respiratory disorders.Quick and minimally invasive sample collection process (e.g., blood draw, urine sample).Results are typically available rapidly, aiding in timely clinical decision-making.Essential for guiding treatment plans, especially in critical care, emergency medicine, and chronic disease management.
Who is this surgery for?
- Suspected metabolic acidosis or alkalosis (e.g., diabetic ketoacidosis, renal tubular acidosis).
- Evaluation of respiratory disorders affecting blood gases (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, respiratory failure).
- Assessment of kidney function and urinary tract health.
- Diagnosis of infections in normally sterile body fluids (e.g., meningitis, septic arthritis).
- Monitoring critically ill patients in intensive care units.
- Investigating unexplained symptoms like fatigue, confusion, shortness of breath, or nausea.
- Pre-operative assessment for major surgeries.
How to prepare
- For arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis: Inform the pathologist if you are on oxygen therapy or anticoagulant medications.
- For venous blood pH: Typically requires no special preparation, but fasting may be requested.
- For urine pH: A clean-catch midstream urine sample is often required; follow specific instructions for collection.
- For other fluids (e.g., CSF, pleural): The collection is performed by a physician via procedures like lumbar puncture or thoracentesis; pre-procedure instructions will be provided accordingly.
- Inform the healthcare provider about all current medications, supplements, and any allergies.
Risks & possible complications
- For blood draw: Minor pain, bruising, bleeding, or infection at the puncture site; very rare risk of fainting or hematoma.
- For specialized fluid collection (e.g., lumbar puncture): Risks include headache, infection, bleeding, or nerve injury (these are associated with the collection procedure itself, not the pH analysis).
- Potential for sample mishandling or contamination leading to inaccurate results.
- False results due to improper sample storage or delayed analysis.
Recovery & hospital stay
- For simple blood or urine tests: No recovery time is needed; resume normal activities immediately after sample collection.
- For procedures like arterial puncture: Apply pressure to the site for several minutes; avoid heavy lifting with that arm for a few hours.
- For invasive collections (e.g., lumbar puncture): Rest lying flat for 1-2 hours post-procedure to prevent headache; avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours.
- Monitor the collection site for signs of excessive bleeding, swelling, or infection.
- Follow up with your doctor to discuss the test results and any necessary treatment plans.

I've been seeing Dr. Aarthi Priya...
I've been seeing Dr. Aarthi Priya for my blood pressure and general health for about five years now. She remembers the small things from my last visit, which makes a huge difference. The clinic at MGM can get busy, but she never rushes me. I trust her completely because she explains changes in my treatment clearly and never pushes for unnecessary tests.
