Blood Test Question
ad
I'm going to get my first blood test here real soon and was wondering what I need to get checked. Testosterone being the most obvious one but wanted to know what else to look for? Also do I just walk into a regular clinic to get this done? Sorry for the dumb questions I'm very new to the whole process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

56tooThe general ones you want are your lipids, liver function and maybe your psa (prostate). You can go here http://www.privatemdlabs.com/ which is an online co. that sends you to a local lab inn your area where you get your blood drawn and they send you the results online. If you register with them they will send you a weekly discount of 15% which you can apply towards those tests. I just had my test levels ,lipids and liver function along with psa and if I remember it only cost me around 170.00
