Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
As part of a routine check upon, we usually request blood tests such as complete blood count (CBC), fasting blood sugar, kidney function indicators (BUN and creatinine), electrolytes or minerals (sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, phosphate), liver enzymes in your case since your consume alcohol regularly (ALT, AST), vitamin D because the majority of the population suffer from deficiency, lipid profile (including total cholesterol,triglycerides, HDL or the good cholesterol, and LDL or the bad cholesterol). You need to be fasting for 12 hours when having your blood withdrawn for these tests.
A urine analysis may also be included in the panel.
