BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT

Do not fast by guesswork.

Some tests require fasting and many do not. Confirm the instructions and never stop medicine unless a qualified provider tells you to.

Read the unit, laboratory range, symptoms and history together. An abnormal flag is not a diagnosis on its own.

BEFORE COLLECTION

Lab tests in Abu Dhabi: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between outpatient and home collection?

Outpatient collection takes place at a confirmed centre. Home collection brings a collector to a confirmed address, but only when the test, specimen and patient needs are suitable.

Do I need to fast before a blood test in Abu Dhabi?

Not for every test. A CBC alone and HbA1c alone usually do not require fasting, but other tests on the same order may. Ask for instructions for the complete request, including plain water, medicines and supplements. Do not fast or stop treatment by guesswork; emergency testing belongs with the responsible healthcare facility.

How will I receive my laboratory result?

Confirm the authorised recipient, delivery channel and expected reporting time before collection. Personal reports should use the provider's private release pathway.

Can a referral test take longer or cost more?

Yes. Specialised testing may involve another laboratory, transport, additional administration and a different reporting time. Confirm the total quote and expected pathway before proceeding.
