    RF Rheumatoid Factor
    FBC Full Blood Count
    ESR Sedimentation Rate (I think)

    I know it's not many Rose but it's a start and I bet they're the ones you knew already :roll:

    Someone more knowledgeable will be along soon.

    ABS and Anticardiolipin: Both are different Antibodies present in the body in cause of different Autoimmune diseases...
    Anticardiolipin is for Lupus usually...

    Hi, I sometimes use this website, not sure if it's exactly what you need, have a look on here though, I think it tells you the abbreviations for most if not all tests..
    http://www.labtestsonline.org.uk/map/aindex.html

    Hope it helps

    Tony :D
