A member asked:
How often should a child have routine blood work? to check cbc levels and vitamin d levels and stuff like that? my child is 6 and never had done
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood work: I check the child's blood at 1 year for lead and a complete blood count looking for anemia and then yearly after that. As they reach over age 3, I start to do lipid (cholesterol, triglycerides) as well. If your child is 6 and never had a blood test, it is time to ask why?
