follow-up laboratory test
Explanation:
The term is used in two different ways:

First as a follow-up exam to monitor the blood parameter and/or other parameters during a disease. In this case I would use "follow-up laboratory test":

Second: "Verlaufslabor" is used in Switzerland for special laboratory exams of athletes, which are conducted in addition to routine laboratory exams. Besides including the basic complete blood cell count (CBC) it includes other parameters like Ferritin and CRP, but not as many as a routine exam for athletes. I would use the term "additional follow-up (hematological) test" in this case:
