Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hi , The chemistry screen includes a bunch of tests that aren't on the CBC. They include liver function, kidney function and electrolytes amoung others but those are the ones that I would insist on. In terms of liver function, they include: ALT, AST, LDH, ALP and bilirubin. Kidney function include: creatinine and urea. And the electrolytes include: potassium, sodium, chloride, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium. Especially if you're taking supplements, I think it's imperitive that you have your electrolytes checked to make sure you aren't getting too much. Hope that helps, Tracey > > What does a chem screen look at? I too only see my doctor every 3 > months for a cbc and to check the kidneys only at my insistance.
