I believe all DAMEs are looking for the same stuff, as CASA sets the medical standards. If you want to read stuff in detail, following are some useful links:

If I remember correctly, I don't think urine was sent to a path lab, so presumably it was tested for easy-to-check things like diabetes by the DAME. The blood was sent out, and Cholesterol, Triglyceride, Liver Function Test and Full Blood Count were done. I may have forgotten something though.
Basically I believe they are looking for normal bodily functions.

However, if you're worried about being tested for drugs and excessive alcohol consumption, I would be a bit worried about flying with you...
