Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hello all I have what I think is a simple question. I am schedualed for a 'lipid panel' blood draw. On the back of this form it says that this draw looks at: cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides, LDL, and VLDL. I am wanting to know if it will measure liver function as well; as I am having green/yellow BMs for about a week now. Will a lipid panel tell if there is 'something' wrong with the liver?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 No a lipid panel will not tell you anything about the liver. If you want to know about the liver you need a liver panel to check liver function. SGOT,SGPT,LDH,BILIRUBIN, ETC. Sincerely, S. Blood draw question Hello all I have what I think is a simple question.
