Blood work Abroad

ad

In the past couple of weeks I had to travel abroad. Generally it has played Havoc with my training and to some extent diet. However while away I decided to get some in depth blood work done. My reasons for doing this abroad were cost saving and no awkward questions. The whole thing cost me £82.00 (approx $128). That seemed like extremely good value? The blood work included the following:-
Lipid Profile
Complete Blood Count w/ Differential
Estradiol, Sensitive
Insulin Growth Factor (IGF-1)
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
Testosterone (Free) , Serum (Equilibrium Ultrafiltration) With Total Testosterone
Estrogen
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
Thyroid Profile
Overall the results are pretty good with the exception of Estradiol levels which are through the freakin roof and is going to take some addressing.

Thanks Tread. Blood work reads like War And Peace. I think the cost compared to what I would have had to pay here in the UK more than payed my air fare. Now to get back to the gym and make up for lost time!
