What info can be found in the annual urine and blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A lot: The amount and type of information depends on the tests done. It is generally not a good idea to do tests that are not clinically indicated. The more tests you do, more false positives will show up. Having said that, testing urine for blood and protein, and blood for hemoglobin, glucose, lipids and TSH may be useful as screening tests.
