Hello,

My tests are booked in, I wanted to know if there is any medication I am on that I should come off before I have these tests done and how long before the tests are done.

The tests I am having are the following=

HbA1c, Bone Profile, Serum Vitamin B12, ESR, Full Blood Count, Serum Ferritin, Serum Folate, FT3, IgA, Liver Profile, Renal & eGFR, Rheumatoid Factor, TSH and FT4

Anti-CCP Antibodies, Connective Tissue Disease screen, Anti-TPO antibodies, IgA Anti -Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG).

Medication I am on is,

*Vitamin d 1000 Iu

*Iron 210mg ( ferrous fumarate)

*Glucosamine

*Pro biotics (bio Kult)

*Esomeprazole

If anyone could help that would be amazing.

Thank you.

Theres a lot of different typs of tests there. Suggest you ask the doctor who ordered the tests if they need to be fasting etc
