RENAL ARTERY BILATERAL COLOR DOPPLER, in Noida

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:

If you take NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen or diclofenac), certain antibiotics, or contrast agents, inform your doctor before the test. These medications can transiently elevate creatinine and urea levels, and your doctor may advise a brief medication pause if it is clinically safe to do so.

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.
