Results when samples shipped from overseas
Many local draws are shipped some distance to the analyzing lab. Some patients have shipped samples overseas. One patient reported that a result from a sample shipped overseas was a lower value than the result from the same draw given to a local lab. This may be related to the length of time in shipment or environmental conditions during shipment.
