I've been feeling really I'll lately; nausea, fatigue, weakness, fever etc. so I went to the doctors about it. He didn't really speak about what it could be but he said that it was very unlikely that it was anaemia. I've also realised (only recently) that my joints/bones are beginning to hurt and I bruise after even very light bumps (my friend accidentally bashed her arm against mine and it bruised). Anyway, the doctor ordered for blood tests to be done and I have no idea what they're for.
They are Gold O, Purple A and Gold C, and I was just wondering if anybody knew what these specific ones tested for. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Tend to believe you would have just a standard number of blood tests. These would be CBC, BMP, and Thyroid panel. Purple is likely to be the CBC. Can also be used for clotting studies, Gold O and Gold C are not known in the USA. These would be the others, the chemistry studies. It would more helpful for you to note what blood test abbreviations are listed on the requisition. And be sure you get a copy of everything once completed.

These are not standard blood tests in America. They may be customized groups of tests your doctor uses. Only he and the lab will know the components of the groups of tests. You will know when you get your results: you can demand to know.
