CT Scan Pelvis Contrast, in Madurai

Fasting and dietary instructions:

Do not eat or drink anything except plain water for 8 to 12 hours before the test. Drinking water freely is encouraged , it keeps you hydrated and makes venipuncture easier. Avoid tea, coffee, juice, milk, and chewing gum during the fasting window even if they are taken without sugar.

Medication guidance:

Continue taking all regular prescribed medication unless your doctor has specifically asked you to stop before this test. Inform the lab staff about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are currently taking. Some substances affect specific test values, and this information helps your doctor interpret results accurately.

What to bring:

Bring your doctor's test requisition or prescription, a valid government-issued photo ID, and your health insurance card if you plan to use cashless OPD benefits. Wear clothing that allows easy access to the inside of your elbow , a short-sleeved top or a sleeve that can be rolled up comfortably.

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.
