I'm getting a CD57 blood test tomorrow at Labcorp & I can't get anyone to call me back to tell me if I'm supposed to fast before this test.
Have any of you guys had the CD57 test and, if so, do you know if I'm supposed to be fasting before?
Thank you.

I never heard of needing to fast before this test. I know we are supposed to fast on a lipid profile test. Beats me?!!

Ok... thanks guys! I just wanted to make sure because when I called Labcorp their long phone answering computer kept talking about some tests requiring fasting & I got to worrying & wondering if I was suppposed to!
Thanks again for your answers & help! JenniferMN
