Forgot to mention...since you have Graves...the liver enzymes may be raised but no need for panic as the levels have to be in the 1000's before any damage is done.

The RLB testing is for:
cholesterol -good and bad
creatine
ALT is liver enzymes


RLB Creatine
RLB Glucose,
RLB ALT

LIPID SCREENING

RLB Cholesterol
RLB HDL Cholesterol
RLB DIRECT LDL Chol.

These are routine blood tests....no need to panic.

Do you have to fast?
Usually you do for this test....I would call the labs prior and ask them.
