Lab Results
Sometimes your doctor needs to take a sample of blood or urine either to discover what is wrong with you or to measure something in your blood so that the right medication is given to you. These tests could be anything from blood sugar to a full blood count or a sample of tissue to test for cancer.
While urine can generally be tested in the surgery, blood and other specimens are usually sent away for testing at a laboratory. Most results come back within 48 hours unless a very rare test is needed which has to go to a specialist lab further away when it might take a little longer.
Please note your doctor will normally only contact you if something shows up in your lab results they need to discuss with you ie the old adage, no news is good news. However if you are still experiencing concerning symptoms please do not hesitate to make contact with us as further investigations may be required.
