A member asked:
I had a blood test and the nurse said that i had slow flow. it was hard for her to take the sample. it's that normal? or should i be worried?

Not at all: some people have big veins other have small invisible veins making it difficult to take blood and have slow flow. this has no real long-term significance

Hi. I had an ast and alt test . The alt came back normal 41 u/l but the ast said haemolysed sample.My question is how was only the ast haemolysed and not the alt when it was only one blood sample? Surely that would have an effect on the alt?thanks?
