It is a general MoT and will vary from country to country and even from district to district.

Normally:,,don't worry about the letters and abbreviations.

Blood for Hb ( anaemia) White cells ( infection and blood disorders)

ESR (for a general check)

CKD ( for kidney assesment)

Cholesterol .full profile LDL, HDL ( likelihood of having a stroke or heart attack)

Electrolytes ( chemicals in the blood).

Blood sugar ( your ability to handle sugar in your diet ..?diabetes)

GFR ( the rate at which your kidneys are clearing the blood)

T3 T4 TSH........your thyroid gland function....maybe low in older people.

URINALYSIS....just a "hotch potch" of above and not as important as above.

This is an ABC of blood tests that would routinely be done.
