@northoftheborder We also check testosterone, CBC & CMP.
They always do the CBC & CMP tests first. I’ve told them it’s the PSA that I’m most interested in. They don’t.

Hello, Bro!
What is CMP?
Which specific indicators of a general blood test should be compared with each other and how should they be compared (increase/decrease)?

@brianjarvis Because I'm in IRONMAN, I get a huge range of tests every three months. The clinic where they take the blood is in the same hospital as the lab, so someone just comes every hour and wheels all the test tubes down the hall. Depending on where I fell in the hour, I might start seeing results pop online in 30-45 minutes, though uPSA usually takes a couple of hours (just to be dramatic).
