coagulation/bleeding tests, full blood count, serum electrolyes, thyroid hormone tests, liver function tests, serum lipids, serum creatinine, blood glucose result
will those tests be affected/show any drug use? (especially stimulants)
 
Liver function tests would be wonky if your drug use involves first pass metabolism. Other than that, I'm not sure-- though I think most would be unaffected and it would be more superficial tests (blood pressure, heart rate, etc) that drugs would affect.
 
I believe amphetamines can increase serum lipids levels, although unless you are using quite a bit, I doubt that the elevation would be clinically significant.

In other words, no, or rather, not really.
