No Doesn't effect the test at all.
On a uasual UA it takes 2 to 3 days but the send the sample off to Qwest or Labcorp. But yours maybe tested there at the hospital. It only takes 10 minutes to run a normal EMIT test.
If you're not sure if you're clean I'd just drink a lot of fluids in the morning of the test. You might get a negative dillute and they might just reschedule.
