hemotology. google it or buy a book on physiology and you'll find what in the blood what levels are acceptable and what they do.

Blood Chemistry is a CBC or Complete Blood Count. It is about determining where you are as compared to the norms of other people considered to have a normal blood count. This has to do with white and red blood cells and everything that makes them either normal or abnormal. It is done by running the blood through a centrifuge to separate the red and white blood cells. Ask your lab technician to explain what happens with the blood the vampire takes from you next time you go in to donate for the tests your doctor orders.

"Blood Chemistry" is a general term for any chemistry tests done on your blood. This includes hundreds of tests, but most commonly things like glucose, electrolytes, kidney tests, calcium, liver tests and lipid tests. Other tests could include thyroid tests or pancreas tests.
There are two common panels that might be generally called "blood chemistries". These are a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel and a Basic Metabolic Panel. The first one includes liver tests and the second just includes more basic tests like glucose, electrolytes, calcium and kidney tests.
Tests that aren't considered chemistries would be things like cell counts or clotting tests.

blood chemistry is the electrolytes (pottasium,sodium,etc.)in your blood and can also include lipids (cholesterol,triglycerides) and cardiac enzymes. cbc's are hematology test (blood cell counts)

blood work. to find out your cardiac ejection fraction, to find out if your retaining carbon dioxide, to find out if you have high red or white blood cell count, to find out if your in end stage renal disease, find out if you have low iron ferritin levels, what else are you looking for?
