How Test Preparation Impacts Results
Fasting and Timing Guidelines
Certain tests require fasting for 8–12 hours to stabilize glucose and lipid baselines. Follow posted schedules to avoid rescheduling and delays in reporting.
Medication and Activity Notes
Inform staff about current medications and recent exercise, as these can influence chemistry and immune markers. Bring a current medication list for best accuracy.
What to Expect During Your Visit
