REPEAT - Labs For Life!!!
Here's a repeat....
Ask your doctor for all previous lab reports. You also want the ones before surgery. Track them on a spreadsheet. That way you will see any downward trends and know how to react.
Prior to your draw, drink a bottle of water. Your blood will flow easier and you will probably have more 9-15 vials done. Here's the list of codes and descriptions:
1759 – CBC w/diff
10231 – CMP (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 (ALT, AST, & GGT)
718 – Phosphorous – inorganic
83735 – Magnesium
905 – Uric acid
945 – Zinc
7444 – Thyroid panel (T3U, T4, FTI, TSH)
367 – Cortisol
7573 – Iron, TIBC, % sat
457 – Ferritin
921 – Vitamin A
680 – Vitamin D (25-hydroxy)
4052 – Vitamin B-1 (thiamin)
84207 – Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine)
7065 – Vitamin B-12 & folate
83970 – Serum intact PTH
