Conditions & Notices
- It does not require strict fasting, but it is preferable to draw the sample in the case of basic fasting to avoid any effect of chylomicrons (post-meal fat) on some tests.

You may need to stop taking some medications for a specific period before the test, under medical supervision.
- A positive result must be confirmed by a second test at least 12 weeks later to confirm its persistence.
- The sample must be taken and handled with extreme care to prevent it from clotting or disintegrating, which could spoil the result.
