Morphology
The meaning 'a set of measurements or analysis of blood components' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'blood' (the bodily fluid) with 'profile' (a set of measurements or attributes). This compound follows regular medical naming and compounding patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would very likely infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Blood profile The noun blood profile comes from the idea of a medical test that makes a simple 'picture' or list of what is in your blood, and the word profile here means that list of numbers and parts. So, a blood profile means a test that gives a quick 'snapshot' of your health.
