Blood tests include red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, bleeding time, and lots more . But for liver and bone function evaluation, alkaline phosphatase is tested in the blood. This requires NPO (nothing per orem / mouth) 8-12 hours prior, and a list of medications you are taking because the liver is the principal site of drug metabolism. It is where the medications we ingest undergo changes before it goes to our systemic circulation.

Blood tests are very informative to the doctor who is familiar with your symptoms and the medicines that you are presently on, but will be of limited value to others. In any case, it looks as if you are going to be tested for LFT (Liver function test), may be serum calcium (osteoporosis and other problems?) and may be some more. It is good to have faith in God and remember, the God will work through your doctor and others.

I guess I don't know what you are asking - but it is good to see your faith is strong. God will see you through - in His way.
