Fasting requirements depend on the type of test. For glucose, cholesterol, and lipid profile tests, a 10-12 hour fast is typically required. When booking your test, we will provide specific preparation instructions based on the tests ordered by your physician.
Most routine test results are available within 24 hours. Specialized tests such as cultures, hormonal panels, or cancer markers may require 2-5 working days. We will inform you of the expected turnaround time when your samples are collected.
