Blood Chemistry Panel

A blood chemistry panel is a test that measures various substances in your blood to assess overall health and organ function. It includes tests for glucose (blood sugar), electrolytes like sodium and potassium (maintaining fluid balance), kidney function markers (creatinine and BUN), liver enzymes, and nutrients like calcium and proteins. These results help doctors detect issues such as infections, dehydration, diabetes, or liver and kidney problems. It provides a snapshot of your metabolic state and guides further diagnosis or treatment decisions.
