Labs to check??
Deb, I got this list from someone on another message board I participate in. It might be considered overkill but I do believe I'll have all of this done next time.
Not to be construed as medical advice, this list includes labs we have had performed as gastric bypass patients
* 10231 - comprehensive metabolic profile (sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose,BUN, creatinine, calcium, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase)
* 84134 - pre-albumin * 593 - LDH
* 7600 - lipid profile (cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, chol/HDL ratio)
* 10256 - (hep panel, includes ALT (SPGT) & GGT)
* 718 - phosphorous - inorganic * 83735 - magnesium
* 905 - uric acid * 945 - zinc
* 7444 - thyroid panel (T3U, T4, FTI, TSH) * 367 - cortisol
* 1759 - hemogram with platelets
* 7573 - iron, TIBC, % sat * 457 - ferritin
* 921 - vitamin A * 680 - D (25-hydroxy)
* 4052 - vitamin B-1 (thiamin) * 84207 - vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine)
* 7065 - B-12 & folate * 83970 - serum intact PTH
DIAGNOSIS CODES:
269.2 hypovitaminosis
244.9 hypothryoidism
268 vitamin D deficiency
250.0 diabetes
401.9 hypertension
276.9 electrolyte and fluid disorders
579.8 calcium malabsorption
579.8 intestinal malabsorption
272.0 hypercholesterolemia
275.40 calcium deficiency
266.2 cyanocobalamin deficiency
280.9 iron-deficiency anemia
269.3 zinc deficiency
281.0 pernicious anemia
281.2 folate deficiency anemia
281.1 other B12 deficiency anemia
285.9 anemia, unspecified
579.3 surgical malabsorption
My surgeon requires the following: CMP, CBC, Lipid Panel, Serum Iron, TIBC, Vitamin B-12, Folic Acid, Thiamin~whole blood (frozen)
Hope this helps, Happy Anniversay!
