What tests to request from the Doc

Macdaddy · Jun 18, 2002

I want to ask my doc to run some blood tests. What are the best and most relavent for a bodybuilder? I'm sure test levels and thyroid levels. Maybe GH levels. Anything else? And what test in particular should I ask for. Or do I just ask for tests that cover my areas of concern?

I would like to know this also.

My doc is real good about this. We sit down together with the blood test form and he asks me what test I want done! He doesn't know I use, but some things may be obvious

This list has like 60 "specific" tests lists like HDL, LDL, etc.

So if you could please be specific, don't just say liver test.

THANKS

You ask for a 'liver function test', a full blood count, TSH, LH, FSH, testosterone, cholesterol and glucose. They are the only ones to be concerned with.

Would add one to Big A's

Since I'm over 30, I have them run a PSA (prostatic specific antigen) test every other year just to make sure my prostate is OK. Don't think it's necessary, but it gives me piece of mind.
