Questions to Ask a Doctor In First Visit
Posted: 04-10-04 02:33am

This is really for nancyintx, she was inquiring to me on private email elsewhere as to what she should inquire of her new doctor.

I told her to get the protein checked, and also creatnine, bun and white blood...Also to see if she is anemic. She does have lupus so what other tests should she ask about?

I do not have any symptoms like her at the moment and so am wondering what else she needs to look out for? I personally get tested every three months or so just for cell-cept checkup and so am not educated in the bloodwork per se (though yes I probably should be).

Thanks for answering!
