Hi,

I'm going to visit my neuro next monday for arranging my LP and I would like to ask him for some blood tests.

My list:

homocysteine,
selenium,
alpha-tocopherol (vitamin e).
all the b vitamins ,
vit d (don't remember what kind),
vit a,
calcium,
magnesium,
zinc,
uric acid,
iron (ferritin)

(Taken from a post by Jimmylegs)

Please, feel free to suggest anything to add or change.

Thank you very much

Fernando

Fernardo in my humble opinion add the following:

-ESR + C Reactive protein
-Cholesterol (LDL-HDL)
-Ferittin + TIBC (along with iron)
-Creatinine (kidneys)
-AST + ALT (liver)
-Fast insulin
-TSH + FT3 + FT4 (thyroid function)
-INR + APPT

Too much to consider ah?

Vitamin D - Make sure the test is 25(OH)D - not 1,25(OH)D.
