What is fasting and which tests need it?

Created by Ganesh Patil, Modified on Mon, 10 Sep, 2018 at 4:03 PM by Ganesh Patil

Some of the tests require that the beneficiary is on fast for 10-12 hours before the sample collection is done. During fasting, no food or beverages are to be consumed by the beneficiary. Only water is permitted. If fasting is not followed, then the results of some of the tests would be affected.
