Bloodwork

[piscojim]

I live in Colombia so going to the doctor and asking for bloodwork may not yield the same results as in the US.

Can you tell me specifically what blood tests I need to ask for?


Thanks

Free and total Testosterone

Total estrogen

Lipid panel

AST ALT (Liver enzymes)

LH

TSH

RBC count


That should be plenty to let you know how your body is doing.

Bogota and thanks M4A3, I had read the link you added but that was such a comprehensive list of tests I couldn't figure out which ones were necessary and which weren't.

Very nice break down of lab results on the link. Whether your from the US, UK or Panama. Well done my friend.

Unless specifically asked for, you will not get these as it is under other panels. Normally you get HDL, LDL, Tot cholesterol, AST and ALT, bun and such on a lipid panel
