- Hemoglobin - a measure of the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood
- Chemistry
- Sugar (glucose) - the amount of sugar in the blood is a measurement for diabetes mellitus
- Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride and carbon dioxide) - these substances maintain fluid and blood pressure balance and are essential for the function of most body systems
