What to get checked with blood work

[Phishtribe]

I'm about to go get blood work done and was wondering what all I need to have checked. I know there is just a basic blood works test but is there anything I need to be specific about that they may not do. I want liver check but I have read that the normal check tends to not be accurate and there's something else that u usually have to request that they check which is a better indicator. I also want thyroid checked, anything special there? I need testosterone check. Do I need to check free test as well. Same for estrogen. Also anything special for kidneys? I have been dealing with high blood pressure off and on kindof hard to control is there anything that someone can think of that I may need checked that could help me resolve this issue? I will go to a doctor so I know he will know what mostly to check but gotta admit he's not perfect. Heck last time I asked to check bloods and include testosterone and he checked everything but that...

Go to private md labs and get the female hormonal panel and lipid panel. There should be some codes online too for like 15 percent off. The female panel should have everything you need and is much cheaper than the male panel. If through a doc which I don't recommend because it can screw you in the long run, make sure you get CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, E2, Lipid panel, testosterone. If you don't tell your doc about AAS and he tests you then he will probably freak out at your bloodwork too if your on cycle.
