Can Staying Hydrated Cause Affect The Blood Tests?

I am a nursing mom, may baby is almost 4 months old, I was asked for my insurance to have blood work done, the readings came back all higher than normal, I was unable to fast appropriatley due to nursing a baby and I have had trouble with keeping hydrated. Could all of these factors affect the results?
