ARTERIAL DOPPLER LOWER LIMB ( RIGHT SIDE ), in Amritsar

Fasting and dietary instructions:

No special fasting is needed for this test. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and high-fat foods in the 12 hours before the test for the most consistent results. Stay well hydrated before the appointment.

Medication guidance:

If you are on lipid-lowering medication (statins or fibrates), do not stop them before the lipid panel test unless your doctor has explicitly asked you to. The test is designed to measure your lipid levels on treatment , stopping medication would give a misleadingly high reading that is not your clinically managed baseline.

What to bring:

Bring your prescription, a government-issued ID, and your OPD insurance details. Inform the phlebotomist of any recent illness, active infections, allergy to latex, or history of fainting during blood draws , so appropriate care can be taken during the procedure.

Timing:

For most blood tests, a morning appointment after overnight fasting gives the most standardised results. If your test does not require fasting, a morning slot is still preferable as it minimises the influence of the day's food intake and physical activity on marker levels.
