Do I need to fast before a calcium test?

Fasting is not usually required before a calcium test, as calcium levels in the blood are not significantly affected by recent food intake. However, if the calcium test is part of a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) or includes other tests requiring fasting, your doctor may recommend fasting for 8-12 hours beforehand. Always follow your healthcare provider’s specific instructions for preparation.
