Blood Panel

Jan 16, 2011

Please have your docs run a FULL panel rather than one or two.  It saves time rather than do it piecemeal.

Every 12 months -

• 85025  CBC w/ diff
• 80053  Comprehensive Metabolic Profile
• 84134  Transthyretin (Prealbumin)
• 80061  Lipid profile
• 83735  Magnesium, Serum
• 7444  Thyroid panel
• 83540  Iron Profile (Includes TIBC and Sat %)
• 82728  Ferritin
• 84630  Zinc, RBC
• 84446  Vitamin A
• 82306  Vitamin D (25-hydroxy)
• 84425  Vitamin B-1 (Thiamin), whole blood
• 84207  Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine), plasma
• 82747  Folate, RBC
• 82607  Vitamin B12
• 83970  Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), Intact

After this, if these come back normal, then it's time to think elsewhere.

After surgery, we all want to look at the surgery as a cause for everything that can go wrong with us.  It is not always the case.
