GTT 4th Price in Bangladesh

What is GTT 4th?

A 4-hour Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) is a less common procedure that evaluates prolonged glucose metabolism, typically in specific or rare cases of abnormal glucose regulation. The patient fasts for 8–12 hours, and a fasting blood sample is drawn.

After consuming a glucose solution (typically 100g), blood samples are collected at multiple intervals, including 1-hour, 2-hour, 3-hour, and 4-hour marks. Persistently elevated glucose levels may indicate impaired glucose metabolism or specific endocrine disorders.

Risks include nausea, dizziness, or bruising. Proper preparation is crucial, as stress, illness, or medications can affect results.

Data is compared to standard thresholds to assess glucose tolerance over time.

What to expect & how to prepare

GTT 4th is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your GTT 4th result rather than self-diagnosing.
