Would any of the above take longer than a week to come back to my surgery. It was classed as non urgent and I had them very early in the morning at a local Hospital which then had to be collected by laboratory. The Doctor had nothing specific in mind but as I had been suffering with my legs feeling like they were burning and have arthritis, she just wanted to check all my levels were fine. Thanks.

LFTs, CRP, FBC, blood sugars, kidney function and lipid profile should be back within 24 hours, 48 at most.

Things like vitamin D, PTH (parathyroid hormone) and others take longer.

In the UK, they shouldn't take more than a week, but depending upon which area that you live in, may well take up to 2 weeks.

In Spain, they would be guaranteed to be back within the week (which is no help to you).

Thanks we are normally told my our Surgery one week and the only other things they were testing was my Vitamin B12 level and ferritin so sounds as though I could check in the morning.
