I test for everything since I am covered, only have to pay 200 dollars.
I get the results on the following:
sodium
potassium
chloride
carbon dioxide
calcium
protein
albumin
globulin
alkaline
lipids
cholesterol
triglycerides
Thyroid
thyroxine
t3 uptake
testosterone, serum
This is taking 3 vials of blood and everything in my body is detected and I have done this a million times, I am very thorough and have to know what changes are taking place as I like to take a lot gear and need to keep on top of things.
You are missing something called a
Complete Blood Count (CBC), which checks for Red Blood Cell count, White blood cell count w/differential, Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, as well as platelets. That test provides a better overall picture than just a complete metabolic panel, TSH, lipid and free testosterone panel, which is what you are getting in order to get the values you indicated.
Also, see about your doctor running an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) value every now and then. It's a nonspecific systemic inflammatory marker and can be useful when cancer starts to develop systemically. Short of actual tumor markers and biopsies, the ESR can be useful for folks with predisposition to cancer.
