Conditions & Notices
- • Fasting is not strictly required, but it is preferable to take the sample after fasting for 8-12 hours, as meals can affect the result in some measurement methods.
- Stop taking medications: Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors such as captopril, enalapril, and lisinopril significantly lower ACE levels. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking them at least two weeks before the test, but only under their guidance.
- Avoid fats: If the serum sample is cloudy (due to fats after eating), it may interfere with the measurement.
- No other special preparations are required.
