Why It’s Important to Tell Your Phlebotomist About Recent Illness
When preparing for a blood draw, sharing your recent medical history with your phlebotomist is essential. At Haldebis Mobile Phlebotomy, serving Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia, we prioritize your safety and the accuracy of your results.
How Recent Illness Affects Blood Tests
Illnesses can influence blood test results. For example:
- Infections: Can alter white blood cell counts, potentially skewing diagnostic outcomes.
- Medications: Prescribed during illness may impact liver or kidney function tests.
- Fasting and Hydration: Illness-related dehydration or disrupted fasting could affect glucose or electrolyte levels.
Informing your phlebotomist ensures they document these variables, aiding your healthcare provider in interpreting results accurately.
