Non Fasting Package

Customer Information

Except for the first hours in the early morning, most individuals are in the non fasting state most of the time. The requirement for fasting, or the protocol of not eating or drinking anything for 8 to 12 hours before getting the profiling done, sometimes becomes a restriction, and makes us avoid taking the test itself.

A large number of investigations especially for the purpose of screening and prevention do not necessitate fasting before the collection of the sample and give relatively similar results when carried out non fasting.

This health package has been designed keeping your convenience in mind and with a focus on the utility of the selected investigations in screening for commonly prevalent diseases.

Either/All of the following reasons would support the choice of the tests included

See Reasans
  1. Tests for which the already existing accepted protocol is either the non fasting or fasting state.
  2. Tests whose efficacy is relatively unaffected when conducted non fasting. (Supported by studies and research papers)
  3. One specific test (Triglyceride) has been included because of the growing body of research supporting the utility of post meal or non fasting triglyceride levels in being an independent marker for the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
  4. Tests which have a specific screening & preventive nature
  5. Tests which have medical literature available which specifically supports either or all of the above

Please Note

Note
  • The reference ranges provided in your report are applicable only for fasting samples
  • Some studies suggest that within the non fasting set, 2-4 hours after a meal may be chosen as the time for sample collection if possible
  • Non fasting does not replace fasting as a necessary prepa ration for a large number of investigations and needs to be followed as directed by your physician or laboratory
  • In case it is found that your sample is highly lipemic (milky) due to reasons ranging from genetic to dietary, the likeli hood of some parameters necessitating an evaluation in a fasting condition at a later date is possible.
