Can I see results from a 'general checkup' - esp for liver

[CoolHands]

some time ago (around 1st feb 2012 looking at the scanned form info) I had a general checkup. My local gp had written to me - I assume I am in some kind of target group the nhs is doing general checkups on. So went in, had weight height etc taken and noted, and got given a form to go and have some kind of blood test done (just standard not cos there was anything wrong with me).

I scanned the form so I would know what was being checked before I went.

Now as is the way with the nhs I've heard nothing since, so for all I know I'm at imminent risk of a heart attack, who knows The thing is, I'm actually interested in the results for my liver, since I drink too much (alcohol), and am currently trying to stop drinking. I am in general good health so I don't think there would be any other issues, but anyway, what can I ask specifically regarding the results of the blood test for my liver? Can I get a copy of the results? (I'm sure the doc will just tell me I'm fine and I've got nothing to worry about), but I'd like to know in a bit more details if you know what I mean.

Here's the form showing what was going to be tested re the blood test. You can see the liver bit on the top left. I've no idea what 'GRR' is under 'Other Tests please specify'.

I think that says 'GFR' - glomerular filtration rate - a test for how well your kidneys are functioning

Are the whites of your eyes yellow?

Yes, if you want a copy of the results all you need to do is ask for it; it's part of your medical record.
FBC is full blood count; they look at how many of each bit you have, red cells, white cells, platelets etc.
Liver function test looks at enzyme levels, which will highlight possible damage.
Not sure about the other ones; IANAD but I've had blood tests before and SIL is a nurse.

Looks like GFR I agree. No need to be alarmed, it's done on nearly everyone. Just ring up and ask for the results. If there was something abnormal they 'should' have called you, but just ring up to ease your worries. The receptionist will tell you if all was fine, if there was something abnormal then they'll book you in to see a doctor to discuss them.
