What do routine tests include?

The most common for adults are a complete blood count, blood glucose, a lipid panel (cholesterol and triglycerides), creatinine for kidney function and a urinalysis. Depending on age, sex and history, the doctor may add thyroid or liver tests, a Pap or HPV test, a PSA test or others.

How often should you get them?

It depends on age and health. Healthy people usually need a checkup every one to three years, more often with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or other conditions. Ideally the doctor decides what to order rather than buying test packages without a reason.

How should you prepare?

Many of these tests require 8 to 12 hours of fasting, water only. Avoid alcohol and heavy meals the day before. For the urinalysis, use the first urine of the morning.

What should you do with the results?

Take them to your doctor even if everything looks normal. A value outside the range does not always mean illness, and one within range does not rule everything out; interpretation depends on your medical history.
