Fasting and dietary instructions:

No fasting is required for this test. However, as a general precaution, avoid alcohol and a heavy, fatty meal the evening before any blood test. These can temporarily alter several commonly tested markers even in tests that do not require strict fasting.

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:

Morning appointments are recommended for most blood tests. Biological markers tend to be most stable before meals and physical activity, giving the most consistent, comparable results. Booking an early slot also means you can eat and resume normal activity sooner after the test.
