Blood Drug Testing

blood test results - how long does it take to come through?

I went for a blood test this morning (Mon 2nd July) to test for suspected glndular fever / mumphs and i was just wondering if anybody knew how long it would be to get the results through as i don't have a clue?

1. Takes a couple or so days - should hear back by Thursday
2. most blood tests take around two weeks
3. 3 or 4 days
4. a couple of days, shouldn't take more than a week - and that would be a long time.
5. 2-3 days.good luck
6. Not more than 7 days.
7. I'm not sure how long it takes to get the info from what they did on you. Most tests take only take 1 or 2 days, some take a few minutes, some take weeks, & yes some can take months. It all has to do with what they are testing for. You can always ask your doctor, or ask the lab how long it will take. Good luck on your results.
8. I went for a blood test this morning and the nurse should have told you that you need to call your GP in a weeks time for the test results.
9. i had glandular fever a couple of years aho. yes really painful i thought id broken my kneck....lol. i went to my doctors. my results came back the next day as it was a high priority due to glandular fever being life threatening if not treated ASAP!. it depends where you are from, you could have them tomorrow or in a few days.... if you do have glandular fever your doctors surgery will call you immediately as you can die from it... sorry not trying to scare you here. good Luck x x
10. The bloods have to be sent to labs for testing,then the results should go back to your gp.Normally this could take anything up to two weeks, i would telephone in two weeks the receptionist will tell you if there back then you can make appointment to discuss results with you gp.
11. Monospot for GF takes no more that 24 hours. Mumps Ab test is often done in batches, so although the test takes only a few hours it may not be processed for 2 weeks!
12. it usually takes between 7 and 10 days
