Fasting before testing at Golchehre Laboratory
Not all tests require prior preparation, but most tests require compliance with certain points that, if followed properly, will lead to accurate laboratory results.
In general, fasting means:
You should not eat anything for 12 hours before the test.
You should not drink liquids for 12 hours before the test. (Drinking water according to each person’s usual diet is fine)
You should not chew gum for 12 hours before the test.
You should not use various chocolates, mints (it contains mint ingredients), and chest syrups or throat softeners.
So if the test your doctor has requested requires fasting, you can drink water for 12 hours before the test.

What is vitamin D?
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. However, the term vitamin is not very accurate for type D, and vitamin D is more of a hormone than a vitamin.
Because vitamins are organic substances that living organisms need for proper metabolism, and hormones are messenger substances that are produced by cells or glands and are responsible for transmitting messages in the body. They do this using their receptors. Vitamin D also binds to its receptor to have an effect.
What role does vitamin D play in the body?
Vitamin D increases the amount of calcium and phosphate in the blood by increasing the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the intestine and reducing its reabsorption in the kidney. Calcium is necessary for bone growth and bone regeneration. Vitamin D also inhibits the secretion of parathyroid hormone from the parathyroid gland and strengthens the immune system by increasing phagocytosis and antitumor activity and other functions.
The effect of iron deficiency on hair loss
In iron deficiency, due to the reduction of mitochondrial cytochromes containing the Fe-S cluster and the reduction of ATP production, the adrenal gland is activated and begins to produce testosterone as an alternative source of energy.
Free testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by plasma enzymes, which acts as an androgen on androgen-sensitive hair follicles and causes hair loss.
Men who have a hereditary increase in testosterone production also have a similar problem and suffer from hair loss.
It should be noted that, unlike women, the sensitivity of follicles in different areas of the head of men to androgens is different (follicles in the temples and back of the head are less sensitive), and as a result, most men experience hair loss from the scalp and forehead, but hair loss in women affects all areas of the head to the same extent.

Your Frequently Asked Questions
What causes high creatinine?
Creatinine is a type of protein that is derived from muscle metabolites. This protein is released into the blood and excess amounts are excreted by the kidneys. In fact, the kidneys’ job is to filter substances and proteins such as the protein creatinine. The normal level of creatinine in the blood for women should be between 1.1 and 0.5 and for men 1.2 to 0.6 milligrams per deciliter. Creatinine levels are higher in young people, especially men, due to their greater muscle mass, and on the contrary, they are lower in older people whose muscles gradually atrophy. However, in general, if the level of creatinine in the blood reaches 10 or higher, it is a sign of severe kidney damage. Creatinine can increase for reasons such as heart disease, kidney disease, dehydration, and so on.
What steps are needed to reduce creatinine?
In the first stage, to reduce creatinine levels, a person is advised to drink enough water per day. Also, by following a proper diet, a person can help reduce it in the blood. For example, a person is advised to use less salt and consume more vitamins. Also, some herbal teas can help reduce creatinine, such as chamomile tea. If necessary, the doctor will prescribe medication to the person.

Blood donation intervals Men can donate blood up to 4 times and women can donate blood up to 3 times a year. People are exempted from donating blood for two reasons:

What tests does a blood test include?
With a complete check-up test, it is possible to diagnose health and early many diseases. Early diagnosis of diseases has received a lot of attention in medical science today because it allows for more effective treatment, reduces the complications of diseases, and reduces treatment costs. In a complete check-up, by identifying risk factors such as increased cholesterol and blood sugar, it is possible to prevent the development of heart diseases or their progression. Increased blood cholesterol is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Therefore, ensuring that blood cholesterol levels are normal is essential, especially for people over 50 years of age. These tests include:
Cholesterol screening tests: cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides
Liver health tests: bilirubin, protein, albumin, liver enzymes, HBs Ag, HBs Ab, GGT,…
Complete blood cell count CBC: to detect anemia, thalassemia carriers,…
Thyroid function and diabetes tests: fasting sugar, hemoglobin A1c, T4, TSH, T3
Kidney and urinary tract health tests: urea, creatinine, eGFR, urinalysis and urine culture, etc.
Fecal and occult blood tests: for early detection of colon cancer
Malignancy screening tests: PSA, Free PSA for prostate, CA 125 and Pap smear for women.
What does low phosphorus and high potassium in the blood indicate?
Various diseases, injuries, medications (diuretics, laxatives, antibiotics), and certain treatments such as chemotherapy and parenteral nutrition (TPN) are factors that commonly cause potassium and sodium imbalances. Causes of high blood potassium include acute kidney failure, chronic kidney disease, Addison’s disease (adrenal gland failure), alcoholism (alcohol addiction) or severe drug addiction, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, destruction of red blood cells due to injury or burn, excessive use of potassium supplements, type 1 diabetes, and so on. The most common cause of low blood potassium is excessive excretion of potassium through the urine due to the use of diuretics. High blood potassium levels are usually detected when your doctor orders a blood test to diagnose your current illness or monitor your medications.
