CBC – A complete blood count (CBC) gives important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cell, white blood cells, and platelets. A CBC helps your doctor check symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, or bruising, you may have. A CBC also helps him or her diagnose conditions, such as anemia, infection, and many other disorders.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel – A comprehensive metabolic panel is a blood test that measures your sugar (glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid balance, kidney function, and liver function.

Lipid Profile – A lipid profile is a series of tests that measures the amount of the different types of cholesterol — low density lipoproteins (LDL), high density lipoproteins (HDL) and triglycerides in your blood.

TSH – A blood test used to check for thyroid gland problems.
