WHY OR WHEN TO TAKE BLOOD?

You can have blood drawn and analysed for several reasons, such as a check-up to make sure there is nothing abnormal, or to detect a specific condition.

IS IT MANDATORY TO HAVE AN EMPTY STOMACH ?

When you have eaten and a meal, it contains nutrients that affect the result of the analysis. In that case, it is better to postpone the blood draw. For example, cholesterol and sugar (glucose) measures. In short, a high cholesterol or sugar level may be due to the portion of chips or cola you ate or drank a few hours ago.

Basically, if you want an accurate measure, and not one that you have to get checked afterward, it is best to come on an empty stomach.
Also, should the blood draw serve to detect a specific condition, you usually do not need to be sober.
