Going to get blood work.

[MickyBlues]

Okay Im going to the doc to get some blood work done and would like to know what to request. I know to request for Test levels to be checked. Is there anything else that I would need to tell the doc to check for that is not in a standard blood work?

Total Test, Free Test, Chem20 is minimum. The works will cost you thousands.

Does anyone have links to the online blood work labs? I forgot the url to the one I used last time. Health Med Direct or something like that.

I would like to know what to request.

If you are under thirty, having your baseline Liver Function Tests (AST, ALT, Alk Phos, GGT, and cholesterol) are more important than knowing your baseline testosterone level. Especially if you plan on using orals.
