Blood checks

[Fed1000]

Hello everybody, I’ll have a blood test soon. What do you think are the checks, in addition to the routine ones, that every pwp should necessarily do? Thank you very much.

I asked my doctor to add these to my upcoming annual physical/blood panel.

THS

HsCRP

Homocysteine

HbA1c

Ferritin, Iron, & TIBC panel

vitamin B12

Vitamin D 25, OH

[MBAnderson in reply to MBAnderson]

I'm also going to add insulin

[Fed1000 in reply to MBAnderson]

Thank you Marc.

wuld also add vitamin B panel, amino acid panel, Lyme titer

If you take any form of Carbidopa then you should have your B6 checked in addition to the ones Marc recommends.

[Esperanto in reply to Juliegrace]

Even if you don't take carbidopa (yet) I would test the B6, just like vitamin B9 folic acid

[MBAnderson in reply to Esperanto]

Why B6?

[Esperanto in reply to MBAnderson]

In addition to those already mentioned, I would check lithium.Search this site for Dr. Thomas Guttoso

Earlier and The Promise of Lithium.

Thanks Jim.

A decreased zinc level appears to belong to PD. I don't know what the consequences are and whether it makes sense to test on this. Does anyone have any experiences with zinc deficiency?

Very interesting, I will talk about it with my doctor, thank you. What checks did you do? Did you get the results?

[Fed1000 in reply to House2]

Thank you very much, good everything seems normal.

[House2 in reply to Fed1000]

yes, but I'll repeat them several times to look for "trends" (up or down) within the normal range. This assumes they stay within the reference range.
