medical abbreviations

French to English Other Medical (general)
MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, MPV, PDW, CK, LDH
LCR=CSF?
I'm assuming that some of these are the same in English. Context is lab report hematology/chemistry.
Am grateful for any and all input, merci d'avance!

CK = creatinine Phosphokinase, LDH = lactate dehydrogenase etc...

MCV = Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, although usually in French they would use VGM -volume globulaire moyenne
MCH and MCHC = Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin concentration (so not sure why they have both?) in French though would normally be TGMH (taux globulaire moyenne en hemoglobine).
RDW, MPV and PDW are a mystery to me, unless this is not a hematology report but a serology report in which case it could be some of the wierd and wonderful viruses as suggested by others.
Biochemistry: CK = creatinine Kinase; LDH = Lactate dehydrogenase
LCR is indeed usually CSF (liquide cephalo-rachidienne/cerebrospinal fluid)
Peer comment(s):

agree Helen Genevier : Agree all except mch not = mchc - former is Hb content per cell in weight units, mchc is concentration so measured in weight per volume units. RDW, MPV and PDW are red cell distribution width, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width.
