Do I really need to fast?

Introduction: I used to think that as long as the physical examination needs to be fasting, otherwise there is no way to do the examination, and most of the examinations need to be fasting, but the longer the examination time, the more uncomfortable it is to be hungry. Today, I would like to tell you that when you have a routine blood test, you don't necessarily have to be fasting, but the results of the test are more accurate when you are fasting.

I don't know if you have ever had such an experience before, that is, if you eat something before going for the examination, you will be asked to come back on the second day or in the afternoon, because after eating, those will directly affect the results of the examination, but you do not need to be particularly fasting when you have a blood routine examination, even if you eat a little something, the result will not have a great impact. Because when doing a routine blood test, it does not need to draw venous blood, but uses fingerstick blood pampling. Although it is relatively simple, it can detect many diseases, such as anemia, spleen weakness, paleness, etc., which can be detected through routine blood tests.

You can eat a little bit during the blood test to keep yourself from being so hungry.

The requirements for fasting are not so strict, but for the kind of blood sugar lipid or liver function tests are strict, you must draw blood on an empty stomach, and you can't eat, so you must ask the relevant doctor or search the Internet yourself to see if you need fasting, if you have to fast, don't start eating after 12 o'clock the night before, only in this way can you achieve the effect of a check, and eat dinner as early as possibleIn this case, go for the check-up early on the second day, and hurry up to eat after the check-up, otherwise you will be too hungry to stand it. If you are really hungry on any day, but you need to have a check-up, it is recommended not to eat, and if you do eat, it is recommended to make a new appointment, otherwise it will be a trip in vain, and it will increase the workload of the doctor.

I feel like I really need to have an empty stomach because it makes the test report very accurate.

It is really necessary to have an empty stomach, because this can make the blood routine test more reasonable and the results more accurate.

Yes, you really need to have an empty stomach when you have a blood routine to get more accurate results.

Do I have to fasting before a routine blood test?？Through blood routine examination, you can obtain information about many organs in the body, including liver, kidneys, blood sugar, blood lipids, etc., to understand how much risk you have of liver disease and fatty liver disease, and at the same time know the body's immunity and other information.

Generally speaking, a routine blood test requires fasting, but fasting is not as simple as skipping breakfast. The night before the examination, you should avoid eating greasy food, and you should fast after 8 o'clock, if you are still eating supper at 12 o'clock, you will not be guaranteed to have an empty stomach when the blood is drawn. On the morning of the check-up, you should not drink any beverages including juice and milk, except for plain water.

If you want to get the best results, it's best to start a vegetarian diet three days before the test.

Each test uses a different test method and has different normal values. Normal data is obtained by measuring the fasting blood of a large number of mortals. Because the body is relatively in a basal metabolic state when fasting, the influence of food and other factors is excluded, and the nature is relatively stable, which can reflect the real situation of human blood.

Therefore, if we are going to have a blood test, we should also take a fasting blood test. Only in this way can the results of the examination be reliable, can truly reflect the actual situation of the patient, and can provide valuable evidence for the diagnosis of diseases.

After eating, the food is chewed by the mouth, digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream, and then transported by the blood to various tissues and organs of the body. As a result, certain components of food enter the bloodstream, which can increase the concentration of certain components in the blood. In this way, the results of the test may be incorrect.

If the person who has taken the blood test in the morning has eaten, a large amount of chylomicrons produced after digestion of the food will be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, and the blood will become cloudy at this time, which is medically called lipohema. Since many blood biochemical tests are determined by the change in the color of the specimen, if the blood appears cloudy due to chyle particles, it is difficult for the testing staff to observe clearly, and ultimately the correctness and reliability of the results will be affected. It can be seen that fasting blood draw can not be affected by factors such as foreign food, and can reflect the real physiological conditions in the human body.

Fasting examination items generally include blood draw (liver function), abdominal ultrasound, carbon-14 (gastric examination), and far-infrared whole-body thermography. It is also best to check blood glucose, blood lipids, and blood pressure on an empty stomach, so that the results are more accurate.

It is recommended that you consult your doctor before the examination and follow the doctor's instructions carefully.

Summary. Simple epistaxis is not leukemia, leukemia can manifest as epistaxis, which is usually heavy and difficult to stop by compression.

There are about two kinds of routine blood collection, one is to prick the finger and use peripheral blood, which does not need to be fasted. The other is to draw venous blood, most hospitals only draw venous blood, and the doctor will often recommend fasting when drawing venous blood, and the reason for suggesting fasting is because I am worried that I will eat greasy in the morning, and there will be chyle blood and fat in the blood, which will interfere with the results. In fact, the value of the blood routine itself is not affected by eating or not eating, for example, eating something in the morning, eating is lighter, which does not affect the result, nor does it affect the blood drawing, or for example, eating at 6 o'clock and going to the hospital at 10 o'clock to see a doctor, it has been close to selling for 4 hours, and it has been consumed, so it does not affect it.

If the blood routine itself, in fact, fasting has no effect on fasting, but it is best to fasting when drawing venous blood, so that there is less fat tissue in the blood and less interference.
