Hi just seen that you are on here and so I have a Q that you possibly cos assist with:
If someone has a FBC as well as U&E and also (non fasting glucose) blood tests will the blood test show the "possibility" of high cholesterol and or probs with the liver? I ask cos my hub had the above tests done but was ALSO supposed to hav LFT's and cholesterol BT but mix up on the form (which means he must still go get thos two tests done)
His Glucose / FBC and U&E have all comeback totally fine. (they are testing him as he has developed high blood pressure - he is in his mid forties. He is slightly (but not very) overweight. Does not smoke, (ex smoker just over a year now) THANKS
If anyone besides squad has any idea please feel free to comment

Well, it depends upon what the doctor requested.
A total cholesterol should be a part of "routine blood tests" but a complete lipid profile ( more complex tests for cholesterol) would have to be specifically requested.
Liver function tests would also need a special request.
Has that left any points unanswered?

FBC / U&E/ Glucose / HbA1C tests are unlikely to show any effects of either a high cholesterol or liver problems. Your Hub will need to have the LFT (Liver Function Tests - a suite of 4-5 analytes showing results from different functions within the liver), and the cholesterol test ( which should, I imagine, be after fasting for around 12 hours prior to the blood test)
