I looked up a couple cause I wasnt sure what they were for:

Prealbumin – Protein

CMP – The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a frequently ordered panel of tests that gives your doctor important information about the current status of your kidneys, liver, and electrolyte and acid/base balance as well as of your blood sugar and blood proteins.

LFT – Liveer Function Test

HbgA1C – Glucose/Diabetes

Lipid Panel – Cholesterol

CBC w Diff / Plt – Complete Blood Count

Transferrin - The blood transferrin level is tested for diverse reasons: to determine the cause of anemia, to examine iron metabolism (for example, in iron deficiency anemia) and to determine the iron-carrying capacity of the blood.

THS – Thyroid

Ceruloplasmin – Tests for Malnutrition
