Comments:

The patient must fast overnight prior to the Insulin Tolerance Test. Insulin is injected intravenously corresponding to 0.1 unit per kg of body weight. Collect blood samples for glucose at fasting, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, and 90 minutes. Normally, the 30-minute blood glucose value is about 50% of the fasting level and by 90 minutes the glucose level returns to the fasting level.

Specimen Stability: up to 24 hours at room temperature.

Turnaround Time:

Test Schedule:

Daily, 8 am to 8 pm.

Interpretation:

A result of “detected” for Hepatitis C antibody cannot be used to confirm active infection and may be due to a false positive result or following previous exposure to hepatitis C. Positive antibody test results will be confirmed by PCR to verify active HCV infection, establish baseline viral load for prognosis, and to monitor response to therapy.

Specimen Requirements:

6 mL blood in a GOLD top Serum Separator or in a LAVENDER top tube.

Pediatric Specimen Requirements:

2.0 mL blood in a GOLD top Serum Separator or in a LAVENDER top tube.
