A member asked:

What kind of tests can i ask my doctor to do, to check my lungs and kidneys?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If no symptoms...: A normal patient doesn't ask for any special tests, only routine screening tests. Her primary care doctor will ask a set of routine questions. A physical exam is done. Vaccinations are updated. Routine blood and urine tests are done, depending on a patient's age, location, family history, past history, etc... For young adults, there are no lung tests recommended.
