Private bloodtest

[Geegee777]

Ive purchased blue horizon thyroid gold, had bloods drawn at my local community hospital. The results i shall post tomorrow. Im quite disappointed that my ferritin and folate levels have been affected by, 'slow blood draw or red blood cells damaged', those whete the reasons given by blue horizon. Has anybody had this problem?

Its common for folate to fail if done by finger prick testing and the blood doesn;t flow well leading to having to squeee the finger. This damages the blood cells.

If you had blood drawn in the usual way I would question them about that.

Hi, ive just sent them an email, hopefully another test free of charge. Im quite livid as its the first time ive not used medichecks, who have been very efficient.
