Considerations for baseline laboratory investigations (as needed based on patient’s presenting symptoms)

Basic lab tests
• Complete blood count	• Fasting glucose
• Fasting lipid profile (TC, vLDL, LDL, HDL, TG)	• Thyroid-stimulating hormone
• Electrolytes	• Liver enzymes
If warranted
• Urine toxicology for substance use

Adapted from references [32,53]. HDL = high density lipoprotein; LDL = low density lipoprotein; TC = total cholesterol; TG = triglyceride; vLDL = very low density lipoprotein.
