Your doctor has asked you to get these tests done after 1 month on 5/7/18. The tests include CBC, that is your complete blood count, LFT; liver function tests, Urea & creatinine; kidney function tests, ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis and a test called CA 19-9. It is called a tumor marker, which means it can be elevated in certain tumours.But it can also be increased in other conditions like hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, pa creatitis etc. Without a backdround history I cannot say why it is needed in your case.
Next Steps
Kindly get the tests done and review with your treating physician.
