FAQS

Do I have to fast for my test?

If you are having cholesterol tests as part of your profile you may want to fast for 8 hours prior to your test - particularly if you have had a previous high level. It is not essential though, as your results will still give useful health information whether you have fasted or not. Fasting entails not eating or drinking anything except for water.

Do I need to prepare for my test in any way?

If you take blood thinning medication please tell the phlebotomist before your test. Please drink water and keep hydrated before your appointment.
