Fasting is not required, but avoid a large meal before the test. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements.

Results are typically available within 1 to 3 days after the test.

It can help diagnose conditions such as prolactinomas, hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism, and other endocrine disorders affecting prolactin levels.

The ABG Test measures oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases in the blood to evaluate lung function and acid-base balance.

A blood sample is collected from an artery, typically in the wrist or arm, using a needle.

No special preparation is required, but avoid smoking or strenuous exercise before the test. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.

Results are usually available within a few hours of the test, allowing for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Discuss any abnormal results with your healthcare provider for appropriate interpretation and to determine the next steps for treatment or further testing.
