 Andrea,

Thanks.

LIPID PROFILE

There's no way to tell on some (such as your folate.. it does not specify whether it is rbc or serum.. and there is a difference in quality of test).

Plus, there are some missing such as the coagulation tests (PT/PTT), A and E, copper, etc.

So no.

Thank you so  much Andrea for posting this!  I am due for labs next month..... this is a great help!

I just had my labs done yesterday - all 16 freaking tubes of them!  I am not a fan of blood tests at the best of times.  The lab technician says to me, "It is just best if you don't count tubes."   "Really?" , I was thinking to myself...

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!
