Question:
Can a medic please advise on blood test fasting?
I am having a blood test to-morrow to check the effects of pills for my High Blood Pressure on my Kidneys. Can't remember if this is a fasting blood test or not. Can someone advise me please?
Answers:
most likely it isn't , as your urinary and electrolytes E + U can be done regardless of fasting, you are most likely on a medication called a ACE inhibitor or a angiotensin receptor antagonist, in which you would have had a blood test before you started it ie a baseline or rerference reading and now you will be having another test after you have been on this medication to see if its stuffed up your kidneys
