Do doctors ever ask to repeat blood tests that are normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: If there is clinical suspicion of something, repeating a test to see what the trend is could be legit. For example, if you think someone might be becoming anemic, but history, but the first lab comes back with a low-normal blood count, repeating the test might be appropriate to see if blood counts are falling.
