Liver disease test panel - autoimmune

Risks associated with having blood drawn are slight and include the following:

• Too much bleeding
• Fainting or feeling lightheaded
• Hematoma (blood collecting under the skin)
• Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
• Multiple needle sticks to locate veins

Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another, and from one side of the body to the other. Getting a blood sample from you or your child may be more difficult than getting a sample from others.
