An AZ Allergy Associates certified health care provider will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm using a small needle. After the needle is inserted, a small amount of blood will be collected into a test tube or vial. You maybe feel a little sting when the needle goes in or out. This usually takes three to five minutes.
Will I need to do anything to prepare for the test?
None. You don’t need any special preparations for the test.
At Arizona Allergy Associates, our team members know you may feel apprehensive about your blood test results and get them to you as quickly as possible. Depending on the specific test, it may take an hour or longer. Your doctor will explain the results and the need for further testing or follow-up. Your treatment plan will depend on the type and severity of your allergy.
