I ate meat and eggs the night before the physical examination

Eating meat and eggs the night before a physical examination may affect the accuracy of certain test indicators, such as blood lipids, blood sugar, and liver function, but it usually does not lead to complete failure of the examination. To ensure the accuracy of the examination results, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and adjust daily routine as needed the night before the next physical examination. Why should we pay attention to diet before physical examination? Diet before physical examination directly affects the accuracy of test data. For example, the fat and protein in meat and eggs may increase blood lipid indicators such as cholesterol and triglycerides levels, as the body metabolizes these foods into lipids in the blood, interfering with the analysis of true health status. Protein intake may also cause an increase in urine protein levels in urine tests, leading to misjudgment of renal dysfunction. And high sugar diets, such as meat dishes paired with sugary sauces, may also interfere with the most important blood sugar level testing during physical examinations.

2 Effects of diet on test items

Lipid examination: meat, especially some streaky meat and Braised pork belly with high animal fat content, will lead to increased triglycerides and cholesterol, which may lead to "pseudo hyperlipidemia".

Liver function test: Foods rich in protein or high calories may slightly increase the levels of certain liver enzymes such as ALT and AST, which can easily be misdiagnosed as alcoholic hepatitis or other liver damage.

Blood glucose examination: Some meat and condiments containing sugar will cause abnormal fluctuations in blood glucose levels, especially diabetes screening.

3 How to deal with this situation

If you have already consumed meat and eggs the night before the physical examination, there is actually no need to be too nervous. The following remedial measures can be taken:

Drink sufficient water: Drink around 300 milliliters of warm water on an empty stomach the next morning to help metabolize residual lipids and protein metabolites.

Please inform the doctor of the previous day's diet before the formal testing, so that the doctor can refer to and adjust the standards when interpreting the data.

Re examination if necessary: If the test results are significantly different from the usual health status, or if the doctor recommends adjusting the diet and retesting, a one week interval can be chosen for re examination. The core purpose of physical examination is to accurately understand the physical condition and recommend overall control of dietary structure. Maintain a light diet the day before the next physical examination, consume more fiber rich vegetables, fruits, and moderate carbohydrates, avoid high-fat and high sugar eating habits, in order to maximize the accuracy of the results.
