Does Coffee And Yogurt Before The Lab Tests Interfere With The Results?

i'm an idiot and forgot to fast before my labs! i had had a little yogurt a couple hours before, and a big cup of coffee that morning. will this ruin the results? i was getting the cbc, metabolic panel, hormone check, and cholesterol checked. thanks!

hello, welcome to HCM, your cholesterol and metabolic panel will not be accurate since you did not fast for atleast 8 hours. get the tests redone for accurate results. hope this info was useful
