You may wonder: “I already gave my details at reception. Why are you asking me again?” There is a very important reason. The Right Result Must Begin With the Right Patient
Sometimes, your body needs more than a busy schedule allows you to notice. Long working hours, commuting, prolonged sitting, physical activity and the everyday demands of life can leave the body feeling tired and tense.
The simple answer is that not every change in the body immediately produces obvious symptoms. Laboratory investigations can provide useful information about what is happening inside the body and form an important part of preventive healthcare.
Not every blood test requires fasting. However, for certain investigations, eating or drinking before your blood sample is collected can temporarily change the level of substances in your blood and may affect the interpretation of your result.
