i take it you dont mean they were written on a prescription but a blood request form? as i believe they are types of blood test screen. CBC is complete blood count, BMP i think is basic metaobolic panel, i think VAP is something to do with cholesterol? and PSA is testing for an antigen (protein). not sure about the numbers. i couldnt really say what they are looking for as i dont know about your symptoms etc but basically looking at whether theres something odd about ur blood, maybe blood disorder or sumthing?
