Medical Service Information
Conditions & Notices
- Timing of morning sample collection (important for testosterone): Blood should be drawn early in the morning (7-10 am) because testosterone levels are at their daily peak.
- Fasting: It is recommended to fast for 8-12 hours before the test for optimal results, especially for cholesterol. Water is permitted.
- Avoid supplements: Stop taking iron, biotin, or vitamin supplements 48-72 hours before the test to get accurate readings.
- Rest: Avoid strenuous exercise and severe psychological stress 24 hours before the examination, as these may affect hormone levels and inflammation.
- Public health: If you are sick with an acute infection (cold, flu), it is preferable to postpone the test until you recover, because acute illness raises the CRP level significantly.
