There’s a really large number so you likely have to get a list. Here are some of them or the categories: full metabolic panel, nutrition (all the Vitamins there are a lot), liver enzymes, sugar, and some specific ones they do a few days before surgery. I’m sure every doctor is slightly different, but for mine there were more than a dozen vials of blood they took at one visit!

note my surgery was in the us so protocols may vary with hospital and country
