Note especially that expenses appear in two contexts: 1  Firstly, expense as a concept in financial accounting. In this context, expenses are especially prominent on the Income statement. 2  Secondly, expense as a concept in budgeting. Budgets exist primarily to plan, manage and control expense spending.
It is the CMP, a metabolic panel that you have to fast for. The complete blood count (CBC), sed rate (ESR), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), rheumatoid factor (RF) and uric acid dont really need to be fasting but a metabolic panel does. Votes: +1.
Examples of blood tests that may be done after a period of fasting include fasting blood sugar (fasting plasma glucose) test and lipid profile (cholesterol and triglycerides). http://www.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_ato... Patients who are scheduled for a lipid profile test should fast (except for water) for 12-14 hours before the blood sample is drawn. If the patient's cholesterol is to be fractionated, he or she also should avoid alcohol for 24 hours before the test. http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Ato... To get accurate results, you should fast for 9 to 12 hours before the test. The health care provider may advise you to stop taking drugs that can affect the test. (See Special considerations.) You may drink water during the fast, but other beverages such as coffee, tea, or soda may affect results.
