Does anyone know what the doctors test for when they take your blood for CPL renewals?

Is it jut cholestrol and sugar? Or do they test for other stuff like cancer biopsys, hepatitis, HIV etc?

I guess each region has different requirements regarding blood.
Sugar is tested for in urine.
Haemaglobin is tested via a blood test. (seeing if you're anaemic)
Cholesterol is also checked by a blood test. (usually need to fast for that one).
I believe if they want to test you for disease especially HIV they must have your specific consent to do that test. (Not sure if that's the case in Singapore).
