You do not have to delay your health screening check up because of a recent infection.

Blood tests: Some inflammatory markers may be elevated after an infection and the results can be read in the context of a recent infection. Complications from a COVID-19 infection may also be detected and should be followed up. High sensitivity CRP for cardiac risk stratification would not be suitable for those who have had COVID-19 in the last 1 month.

Chest X-ray: May show infective changes when done after a recent COVID-19 infection and abnormalities should be followed up.

Pap Smear: Not necessary to wait

Mammogram / Breast Ultrasound : Not necessary to wait

You do not have to delay your health screening because of a recent COVID-19 vaccination.

Blood tests: Some inflammatory markers may be elevated after a vaccination and the results can be read in the context of a recent vaccination. High sensitivity CRP for cardiac risk stratification would not be suitable for those who have had vaccinations in the past 2 weeks.

Chest X-ray: Not neccessary to wait

Pap Smear: Not neccessary to wait

It also reduces the risk of hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes.

Yes they are, local studies have shown no significant differences between fasted and non-fasted blood samples for cholesterol levels. HbA1C for glucose monitoring is also a well-established test.

While it is not necessary to fast, we will advise avoiding alcohol or a heavy meal just before your blood test.

If you are going for a Treadmill Stress Test, certain blood pressure medications such as beta-blockers may need to be stopped prior to the test. You should not smoke or drink caffeinated drinks at least 3 hours before the test.

HbA1C is used to screen for diabetes. HbA1C tells us the blood glucose control over the last 3 months by measuring sugar molecules attached to your red blood cells. Concurrently, a non-fasted random blood glucose level is run. The normal cut-off for random blood glucose will be different from fasted blood glucose. 

If your random blood glucose or HbA1C is abnormal, you may be required to do fasting blood glucose to confirm the diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes.

There should be no significant difference in your cholesterol levels between the fasted and non-fasted blood samples. The cholesterol levels would be interpreted as normal.

Abdominal Ultrasound requires at least 6 hours of fasting before the procedure.

If you are planning to go for an abdominal ultrasound, please ensure that you have fasted for the recommended time period before your scheduled appointment.

If your HbA1C is borderline or your random glucose is high, your doctor may advise you to do a fasting glucose to confirm the diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes.

If your triglyceride level is extremely elevated, your doctor may advise you to do a fasted lipid panel.
