If your blood work gets sent to a Hospital who knows how long they will take. I work at Quest and I know blood work does not take longer than 7 days to process there because some of it will have to actually sit if the doctor wants you fasting. Status: Offline.
How long does it take to give blood? The donation process includes registration, a brief medical screening, blood collection, and time for refreshments in the Canteen. For whole blood the entire donation process usually takes about one hour and the actual blood collection segment is usually about 15 minutes.
