How to prepare for your lab test
- Please notify a staff member if you have a latex allergy or feel faint.
- Because testing differs for each patient, ask your physician for instructions on how to prepare for your lab work.
- Fasting is frequently necessary before having blood drawn. Commonly ordered fasting tests include fasting blood glucose (fast for six to eight hours); lipids including cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL (fast for 12 to 14 hours); gastrin (fast for 12 hours); folate (fast for 12 hours).
