💧 The Importance of Staying Hydrated for Accurate Lab Results
✅ Why Hydration is Essential for Lab Testing:
1️⃣ Easier Blood Draws — Drinking water makes veins more visible, improving the collection process.
2️⃣ More Accurate Results — Dehydration can thicken the blood (hemoconcentration), affecting results like cholesterol or kidney function.
3️⃣ Better Urine Testing — Hydration helps provide a clean, accurate urine sample.
4️⃣ Faster & Smoother Testing — Well-hydrated patients often complete their tests more quickly.
5️⃣ Supports Overall Health — Hydration benefits digestion, circulation, and energy — all key for wellness.
Powered by TriCore Laboratories, at Golden Hearts Diagnostics Laboratory, accuracy is our top priority. Staying properly hydrated before your blood test or urine test can make a big difference in both the comfort of your visit and the accuracy of your lab results.
💡 What This Means for You: For the most accurate lab results, drink water the day before and morning of your appointment (unless your provider instructs fasting). A simple glass of water can help ensure your blood test, urine test, or wellness panel is as precise as possible.
