Which Blood Tests Need Fasting? — Masai Lab FAQ

Patients often ask which tests actually require fasting versus which can be done after eating. This FAQ complements our fasting preparation page with a plain “which tests” guide for the in-house lab at Klinik Muhibbah Masai.

Commonly fasting

Fasting lipid profiles and many glucose / OGTT-related pathways usually need 8–12 hours without food unless your doctor says otherwise. Plain water is typically allowed.

Often non-fasting (confirm anyway)

Many blood counts, kidney/liver panels ordered non-fasting, thyroid tests, and infection markers — but always follow the form your doctor signed. When unsure, WhatsApp us the test list before you come hungry.
