04- Blood Tests

Blood tests are essential in helping doctors evaluate the functionality of organs like the kidneys, liver, thyroid, and heart. They also aid in diagnosing various diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, anaemia, and coronary heart disease. Blood tests can also determine if you have any risk factors for heart disease, check the effectiveness of the medication you're taking, and evaluate how well your blood is clotting.

Everything you eat and drink contains vitamins, proteins, and other nutrients that can cause the related levels in your blood to temporarily spike or drop.

Fasting for 8-12 hours helps ensure that blood test results are free from these variables, making your test results as accurate as possible.

Some common tests that may require fasting include cholesterol tests, sugar tests, liver function tests, kidney function tests, basic metabolic panels, and glucose tests.

No appointment is needed for our phlebotomy service but please make sure you are fasting from midnight before coming to the clinic. Please contact us if you have any specific blood tests required.

The results can be sent to your own GP or any other clinics if you wish without extra cost. You can also keep a hard copy of your results for your own record.
