Progesterona sérica - Risks

Nombres alternativos

Examen de progesterona en la sangre (suero)

Riesgos:

Extraer una muestra de sangre implica muy poco riesgo. Las venas y las arterias varían en tamaño de un paciente a otro y de un lado del cuerpo a otro, razón por la cual extraer sangre de algunas personas puede ser más difícil 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)
