Getting bloodwork on Fri --- need to know which tests to ask for

[BULK_CITY]

I've been searching old threads and found lots of good info; now I just need to make sure I'm getting all the tests I should be.

My goal is to just make sure I'm healthy overall (I've never used AAS... just vitamins + creatine + ephedrine).

Here are the tests I am planning on getting:
blood type test
food allergy test
Comprehensive Wellness Profile with Testosterone Total & Free addon

I'm going to get these tests done from:
**broken link removed**
or my doctor (depending on which is cheaper)


Is there anything else I am missing or I should consider?

I plan on following massive G's advice and not workout for 2 days before and come in well hyrdated/fasted

thanks!

There are several different variations of blood tests and labwork you should have drawn up. Most in the medical community use the term profile or panel. I.e. Lipid profile, panel etc.

I'd suggest the following:
Hormonal panel including estrogen level, prolactin/progesterone level, free and bound test level, LH, FSH, cortisol and all that good stuff.

Lipid Panel: Total, VLDL, triglycerides, HDL, LDL etc.

Thyroid panel would be great too.

As for a metabolic profile the basic is fine which usually includes AST/ALT, glucose, creatinine, BUN, stuff like that.

CBC.......usually involves stuff like hematocrit, hemoglobin, WBC's, RBC's, etc.

The above is definitely helpful if you're using steroids. If not some of these may not be necessary but I always like to get them checked anyways out of curiosity and you never know what might come of it.

thanks brawn!

the comprehensive test includes:
Lipid panel (cholesterol, HDL, LDL, the risk ratio, triglycerides)
Complete Blood Count (CBC's)
Fluids and Electrolytes
Thyroid Panel w/TSH
Liver Panel
Kidney Panel
Glucose (Diabetes)
Mineral and Bone

so that coveres nearly everything you said except for hormonal (includes coritsol) but that one is really expensive:
$212 for :
DHEA,S
Testosterone Total & Free
Estradiol


or the comprehensive hormonal: $489
CWP
Testosterone Total & Free
Estradiol, Estriol, Estrone
IGF-1
Prolactin
Insulin
Progesterone
DHEA-S
Cortisol
PSA
