MEdIC - Laboratory Tests: Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility Test

	Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility Test

	Your doctor has asked us to make an appointment for you to have an Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility Test. You may choose to have the test done at one of the following laboratories: Outpatient Laboratory, Hermann Professional Building, Suite 1521, 704-6200. Monday-Thursday (8:00 A.M. - 11:00 A.M.).

	For Best Results:

	To produce the most sensitive results on your test, we need to wait 24 hours after collecting the blood sample to study it. Therefore, please do not schedule your test on a Friday or a holiday. You do not need to prepare in a special way for this test. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, you may eat at your regular times.

	Remember

	Please be sure to bring the paperwork your doctor gave you (orders for the laboratory). If you currently are not registered at Hermann Hospital, the Outpatient Laboratories at Hermann Professional Building and Houston Medical Center will register you when you arrive for your blood test. If you are, be prepared to tell us: your name your date of birth your social security number your doctor's name the name of the test your doctor wants you to have. If you are having your test done at a laboratory in the Hermann Hospital complex, you may park in the Hermann Professional Building Garage.
