No. It is not necessary to fast for a CBC. Generally tests like Lipid profiles and Glucose testing are ones that will require you to fast. CBC is a test that deals with your blood cells.

differential distinguishes between mature and imature white blood cells and can detect abnormal cells. A differential is usual needed when a white blood cell count is low.
There is always a possibility of having to fast before any lab work. You may need to fast for 10 or 12 hours before basic CBC and CMP lab draws, depending on the orders of the doctor. Follow any orders that your doctor gives you.
A CBC (complete blood count) is your basic determiner. On a low result Doctor's will tend to order: Haptoglobin Ferritin Iron % Sat Retic Ct B12 Folate Occult Blood
this is a CBC with differential, TSH and a lipid panel...
A CBC lab test is a complete blood count test. The common test is used to evaluate overall health and it checks the levels of both red and white cells.
* The CBC is a series of lab tests that measure the amount, shapes, and sizes of red and white blood cells in a sample. The CBC is routinely ordered during annual physicals and other routine checkups, as it is an inexpensive and easy test to run that provides a lot of information about the patient's health. The CBC is also used to diagnose various illnesses. The differential count measures the different types of white blood cells and compares their amounts to the total count. It is usually done by a machine (automated differential) but it can be done by a technologist who hand-counts the cells using a microscope (manual differential).

Lab
A CBC is a lab test run in hematology. It measures your hemogolobin and hematocrit, red cell distibution width, and white and red blood cell count. It is usually oredered with a diff...(differential) which is used to see what levels and types of white cells you have. Different types of white cells indicate different types of problems in your body...ie if you are have a viral infection vs a bacterial infection or an allergic reaction... Since CBC's can give so much information, they are ordered for a large variety of reasons...

no u have to be tested for drugs. a cbc only shows things like your white and red blood cell count and if your amemic. a drug test is a completely different test.
No dure

A CBCD is a complete blood count with a differential. This CBCD measures the five major white blood cells present.
