Blood and urine tests are used to monitor your health, diagnose conditions and check for drug use. They can be taken at any time of day with no effect on the results, but there are some things you should know about when to take them so that they're most useful for your doctor.
Blood tests are usually taken from the vein. Blood can be taken at any time of day, but it's best to avoid eating or drinking anything for a couple of hours before your test.
It's important to know that you can have a blood test taken at any time of day. Blood tests are usually done in the morning, but they can also be done at night or in the afternoon. If you're feeling nervous about having a blood test, don't worry! It doesn't hurt as much as people think it does; your doctor will give you some medicine before they take your blood so that it goes easier on both of you (and on their hands).
The best time to have a urine drug test is when you've had no drugs in your system for more than 48 hours. For example, if you take cocaine on Friday and want to get tested on Monday morning, then it's important that you don't do anything else with that drug during the weekend. The same goes for alcohol: if you drink heavily on Thursday night and want to be clean by Friday afternoon (or even earlier), then abstaining from drinking until after lunch should give you enough time before getting tested.
You should also avoid caffeine and tobacco products prior to having your blood or urine checked because they can affect results negatively.
Blood tests and urine drug tests are generally done on an outpatient basis, meaning you don't stay overnight in a hospital after they're done. This is because it's not necessary to have any side effects or complications during the procedure. The test itself is simple and straightforward--you'll simply need to go into the lab or testing facility with your doctor's prescription for whatever test you want done (for example, if he wants to check your blood pressure). You'll then fill out some paperwork before having your blood drawn or urine collected in a cup.
Blood and urine tests can be done at different times of day without affecting the results.
Blood tests are usually taken in the morning, but it doesn't matter what time you have them done as long as you are fasting (no food or drink) beforehand. If you're having a fasting blood sugar test then this means not eating anything for 8 hours before your appointment. If you're having other types of blood tests then make sure not to eat anything after midnight and only drink water until 10am when your appointment starts!
Urine tests are usually done in the morning because urine is more concentrated during this period due to less fluid intake overnight.
