Yes. Steroid use during collection for Vibrant's Nutrient Zoomer may alter total white blood cell count and/or neutrophil count, which may alter white blood cell (WBC, intracellular) Nutrient Zoomer results. To avoid steroid impact on WBC levels, wait 14-30 days after discontinuing steroids before collecting your sample, or consider getting a complete blood count (CBC) prior to the Nutrient Zoomer to evaluate WBC levels.
Will steroid use during Nutrient Zoomer specimen collection interfere with test results?
