Lipid: and a cmp and other tests depending on your medical or family history.

Basic tests: For an annual exam, we usually recommend a CBC (blood count) with differential, a CMP (comprehensive chemistry), Lipid panel to check for cholesterol and triglycerides, a PSA for men over 50, and Thyroid panel (TSH and Free T4) if patient takes synnthroid or has symptoms that need checking out. Other meds you take and conditions you have may indicate other proper tests. Be well!
