    Can I drink water before a CBC test?

    Yes, it is perfectly fine to drink water before a CBC test. In fact, staying well-hydrated can make it easier for the healthcare provider to draw blood. Water helps keep your veins more accessible and ensures that your blood flows smoothly during the blood draw. Unlike food, water doesn’t affect the results of a CBC, so you can drink water as usual before the test. However, if other fasting tests are required along with the CBC, be sure to follow any additional instructions from your doctor.
