Best practice for this test
Prepare for a result that can be interpreted properly.
Fasting is not usually required, but avoid meat before collection because kidney markers are included.
A morning appointment is preferred for consistency, but no menstrual-cycle timing is required.
Tell us about vitamin D, calcium, thyroid medication and other prescribed medicines or supplements.
Do not stop medication or supplements unless instructed by the clinician responsible for your care.
Your safety comes first. Any later collection instructions sent by Beaches or Inuvi take priority. Do not stop prescribed medication or fast if it could be unsafe. Contact us first if you have diabetes, are pregnant, are prone to fainting or are unsure about medication.

A responsible service
Testing supports care. It does not replace it.
If you feel acutely unwell or have symptoms that need urgent assessment, seek appropriate medical care rather than waiting for a private blood test.
A result outside the reference range does not always mean illness, and a result inside it does not rule every problem out. Interpretation depends on symptoms, history and context.
