Prueba de Coombs - Risks

Nombres alternativos

Prueba de antiglobulina directa; Prueba de antiglobulina indirecta

Cuáles son los riesgos:

Las venas y las arterias varían en tamaño de un paciente a otro y de un lado del cuerpo a otro; por esta razón, puede ser más difícil obtener una muestra de sangre de algunas personas que de otras.

Otros riesgos asociados con la extracción de sangre son leves, pero pueden ser:

  • Sangrado excesivo
  • Desmayo o sensación de mareo
  • Hematoma (acumulación de sangre debajo de la piel)
  • Infección (un riesgo leve cada vez que se presenta ruptura de la piel)
