What else would a blood test be looking for?!


Question: What else would a blood test be looking for?
I had a blood test today. I know that the doctor was wanting to have my iron levels tested to see if I am anaemic, but I am just wondering what else she may have been looking for? They took 3 tubes.... one was big and two were a lot smaller and on the page for what she wanted tested there were a whole heap of abbreviated words. She didn't tell me what else she was looking for!! Any help would be appreciated!

Answers:

diabetes, thyroid, cholesterol, really about it unless they have reason to test for something else such as HIV, blood diseases etc.



Your blood tells a lot about you, cholesterol levels, how well your liver is functioning, cancers, the list is almost endless.
