why don't you phone the drs or hospital?

Are you sure that the 1st 2 are blood tests? MSU usually means mid-stream urine sample.

FBC is full blood count.

Many of the others are all for antibodies and fasting will not make any difference.

hi purplep, i tried phoning but was continually engaged so thought i'd seek mn advice instead!

in case anyone else needs to know, i went along to hospital anyway and the answer's no, you don't need to fast!
