^^^^^Like Gearhead says, these are the Tests you need to have Added.

Make sure that you ask your Doctor to do these Tests !!!

If not, He may not put them in there, Especially the Hormone Panel............................. JP
P.S.
Cholesterol, Liver & Kidney Function, are Usually Standard Fair.
The Hormone Panel is not, unless your having a Problem.
So make sure you ask to have it Added.

Definitely ask for the hormone panel test. Normal bloodwork for a physical checkup will not include it most of the time

Really depends on your health status, where you are and what you plan on doing with that information. It also depends on the provider. If you have a GP with little or no experience with endocrine dx, he/she might balk at doing anything more than the standards and also have a tough time justifying the cost of the test to your insurance.

Your doctor works for you!!! If he needs justification for the Hormone Panel tell him/her "Fatigue" and or "Decreased Libido"

Good luck.

Unfortunately, a lot of Doctors think they are "All Knowing".
So you have to Bring-em down Easy, or get another Doctor.............................. JP

I asked my doctor for a full spectrum blood analysis to check my female hormone levels. She said, "Why? You're not a women" I retorted, "And I'm not thinking about getting pregnant" We laughed!
Since that day I get the full enchilada and these past years have been very good and I hope the future even better.
