Re: Re: Porphyrins, Urine through Doctor Data/turn around time

[Guest guest]

Thanks Pam,

We sent our off on Tuesday of this week and to my surprize Doctor Data is local

about 1 hr away from my home. The results will go right to my dan but now I have

a idea when to call and see if they received them.

Thanks,

time

 

Turn around time for the French Porphryins test varies widely depending on the

number of tests submitted at any one time. We got ours back in a week. Others

have said they waited several weeks (3-5).

I got my results via email.
