Is fasting necessary for hormone testing?

Last updated September 10, 2026

Some hormone testing does require fasting. We provide patient instructions that accompany the requisition we email you once you’ve placed your order.

Each test also had a description informing you if you need to fast or not.

The patient instructions will let you know if fasting is required.
