Preparation guide

Three things that make test results more accurate

Fasting tests

For fasting sugar and lipid profile, eat nothing after 10 PM and come before 9 AM. Plain water is fine. Take your usual medicines unless your doctor says otherwise.

Full-bladder scans

For lower abdomen and early pregnancy scans, drink 4–5 glasses of water an hour before and hold your urine. A full bladder gives the sonologist a clear view.

What to bring

The doctor’s prescription or requisition slip, previous reports of the same test, and the mobile number you want the report SMS sent to.
