How many tests do they do on a normal blood test??

[Desprate Dan]

Hi sorry to bother you all,

I was just wondering if any of you know how many tests they do on a normal blood test?? The reson being i had some blood taken last week and phoned back today for the results, and the receptionist said tests 1-5 were all normal??? why didnt she say that they were all normal.. is there a test 6 -7 -8.. or its probably just me over reacting again.

Cheers

Dan

Dan it really is ok to ask us or your GP. I am on lithium and have regular blood tests. A typical test might be fbc ie full blood count, then tests for thyroid, liver and kidney function and lithium levels. Try not to worry about it if you are not sure of the result then ask them to explain it.
