The preparation for your pathology test may vary depending on the specific test. Some tests may require fasting (not eating any or certain foods) for several hours or even overnight. Others may need you to be well-hydrated before the test. You will be provided with clear instructions for your specific test when it is ordered. If you are unsure or have any questions about how to prepare, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Dr. Vaidya’s Laboratory. We are more than happy to guide you through the process.
