How much do common laboratory tests cost in Islamabad?

A complete blood count is Rs 800 to Rs 1,500, liver or renal function Rs 1,500 to Rs 3,000, lipid profile Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,500, thyroid profile Rs 2,500 to Rs 4,500 and vitamin D Rs 3,500 to Rs 7,000. Prices differ between laboratory networks, and bundled panels usually cost less than individual tests.

Which tests require fasting?

Lipid profile and fasting blood glucose generally require eight to twelve hours without food, water excepted. HbA1c, complete blood count and thyroid tests usually do not. Requirements vary slightly between laboratories, so confirm when booking rather than assuming, and schedule fasting tests early in the morning to make it manageable.

How long do reports take?

Routine blood tests are commonly reported the same evening or the next morning, and most laboratories send a digital copy by email or app. Cultures take two to five days, and specialised assays or histopathology can take a week or more. Ask for the expected date at the time of sampling.

Do I need a doctor prescription for a test?

Many routine tests can be booked without one, but bring the prescription if you have it, since it tells the laboratory exactly which panel was intended and avoids the wrong test being run. Interpreting results is a matter for a qualified doctor; this site arranges the booking and does not comment on results.

Where are collection points located?

The main laboratory networks operate across most Islamabad sectors including F-6, F-8, F-10, F-11, G-9, G-11, I-8 and Blue Area, plus DHA, Bahria Town and throughout Rawalpindi. Tell us your area and preferred time and the nearest suitable collection point is confirmed, or arrange home sampling instead.

Laboratory Testsin Islamabad & Rawalpindi

This desk started in Islamabad, so this is where our data runs deepest. Everything below is written for Islamabad and Rawalpindi specifically — other cities are covered, in less detail.

The main laboratory networks operate collection points across most Islamabad sectors and throughout Rawalpindi, so a blood test rarely means travelling far. Common requests are complete blood count, liver and renal function, lipid profile, HbA1c, thyroid profile, vitamin D and B12, urine analysis and pregnancy tests, along with panels ordered by a treating doctor.

Indicative 2026 prices are Rs 800 to Rs 1,500 for a complete blood count, Rs 1,500 to Rs 3,000 for liver or renal function, Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,500 for a lipid profile, Rs 2,500 to Rs 4,500 for a thyroid profile and Rs 3,500 to Rs 7,000 for vitamin D. Bundled health panels are usually cheaper than the same tests ordered individually.

Check the fasting requirement before you go, since lipid profile and fasting glucose need eight to twelve hours without food, and confirm the report turnaround, which is same day for routine tests and several days for cultures and specialised assays. Carry your CNIC and the doctor prescription, and keep previous reports so results can be compared.
