FAQ
Laboratory
Fasting
Some blood tests require the patient to be fasting (neither food nor drinks except for sips
of water) for 10 to 12 hours. These are mainly related to glucose and lipid panel. For
further information on blood tests, please refer back to the laboratory or your physician.
Medication
For all medications please refer to your physician who is responsible to inform you
whether to take your medication before drawing blood or not.
The best urine specimens are those collected in the morning. If not possible, any clean
random sample is acceptable.
For urine cultures only, mid-stream sterile samples are recommended.
1. Pass a small amount of urine into the toilet.
2. Midway through urination, fill the container to half full and finish voiding in the
toilet.
3. Replace the lid and tighten it firmly.
If the specimen is given outside the laboratory department it should be delivered to the
lab within 1-hour maximum and stored away from heat.
24-hour urine specimens are collected in a wide-opening container as follows:
In the morning, before starting collection discard the first urine in the toilet.
Write the date and time on set of the process, then start collecting urine.
Collect all urine within the coming 24 hrs. in the container.
It’s forbidden to touch the urine with toilet paper or other items that might contaminate
the sample.
Be careful not to touch the urine with toilet paper. Germs in your toilet paper or other
things might contaminate the urine.
The urine should be kept cool during the 24-hour period by keeping the container on ice.
Stool samples should be collected in a clean-dry cup, without previous antacids, oily laxatives, or anti diarrheal medication intake before collecting the specimen. A small amount of stool is sufficient.
If the specimen is given outside the laboratory, the specimen should be delivered to the laboratory within a maximum of 1 hour and stored away from heat and sunlight.
Sperm specimens should be collected after a sexual abstinence period of a minimum of 3 days.
In a clean and sterile cup, collect all the quantity of ejaculate inside the cup. The specimen should be delivered to the lab within half an hour away from cold and sunlight.
After performing the injection for the PPD test, you should return to the laboratory within
48-72 hrs. maximum to check the result.
Also, try not to subject the injection region to sunlight or heat or scratch it because it may
lead to false result.
