Lab dashboards. Anaemia. Tuberculosis.

A cross-sectional view of the diagnostic cohort at Anubhav Life Care, Barasat, with anaemia and tuberculosis treated as separate research domains. Each chart relates a result back to the rest of the panel or to patient demographics — gender is inferred from given name where it was not captured at registration.

02b · TB pathology & vitals

Pathology and vitals signature in TB

From the patient-level cohort: every CBC, biochemistry, urine, body-fluid and (where paired) SamaClip vitals draw for any patient who ever had a TB workup, regardless of which day the sample was collected. TB-positive = smear / PCR / culture / IGRA reactive on any visit.

Low albumin + hyponatraemia + high CRP + low vitamin D is the classic chronic-infection picture; raised serum ADA is the cohort-specific finding worth tracking.

Urinary findings — TB+ patients

Sterile pyuria with a negative routine culture is the urinary tract's classic flag for genitourinary TB. Sent urine for AFB on 89 / 482 — yield was 4 %.

How the numbers were assembled

Source. AKTIV laboratory information system at Anubhav Life Care, mirrored nightly into a research-only Neon Postgres project. The cohort is defined by a curated set of 74 anaemia / tuberculosis / cardiac TEST_KEYs, but once a patient is in the cohort the mirror pulls the full pathology panel for every visit they ever had — haematology, biochemistry, hormones, serology, microbiology, urine, body fluids, cytology, sputum / culture / Mantoux / IGRA, and radiology free-text reports — so that comorbidities, complications, and incidental findings can be related back to the index condition.

Demographics. Age from MAST_PATIENT.DOB; sex from MAST_PATIENT.SEX where present, otherwise inferred from given name against a Bengali / Hindi / English first-name dictionary. Records where neither field nor name resolves are reported as unknown and excluded from sex-stratified panels.

Definitions. Anaemia cutoffs follow WHO (Hb < 13.0 g/dL adult M, < 12.0 non-pregnant adult F, < 11.0 pregnant F, < 11.5 children 5–11). TB-positive means any of: sputum AFB ≥ scanty, AFB-PCR detected, culture growth of M. tuberculosis, or IGRA reactive.

Vitals overlay. Where a patient also had a SamaClip non-invasive screen on the same day as a lab draw, the screen's outputs — non-invasive Hb, SpO₂, heart rate, PPG-derived respiratory rate, HRV (RMSSD), and screening ECG QTc — are joined to that lab draw on PATIENT_KEY × draw date. Only paired rows are counted in the vitals tile.

Caveat. Cross-sectional only. A single patient with repeat draws contributes once per panel, using the most recent value. Longitudinal trends are out of scope for this page.
