Hi Antonia,
"Chem 27" is an Am. medical term. They seem to have 2 biochem. blood tests, a Chem 7 (measuring 7 values) and a Chem 20 (measuring 20 values). I can only assume that Chem 27 is a combination of the two, giving a very thorough chemical analysis. ((Do you want to know what's measured?)
CBC is a Complete Blood Count, measuring
* number of red blood cells
* number of white blood cells
* total amount of hemoglobin
* fraction of the blood composed of red blood cells
* mean corpuscular volume ( size of the red blood cells )
AS your victim is unconcious, LFT will be Liver Function Test

Dear Sir,
I have been adviced Dr for LFT test because of the reason that I do not have the proper digestion. Can you correlate clinically the relationship of Digestion with LFT?
Thank u
