    Does a CBC test require fasting for accurate results?

    No, a CBC test does not require fasting for accurate results. The test measures blood components such as red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets, none of which are affected by recent food intake. However, if your doctor has ordered additional tests alongside your CBC, such as a lipid panel or fasting glucose, fasting for 8-12 hours may be necessary. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions to ensure accurate results for any tests ordered, especially when multiple tests are combined with your CBC. Proper preparation ensures reliable diagnostic information.
