What is measured in a basic metabolic panel test?
A Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) test measures key substances in your blood to assess important functions in the body. It includes:
Glucose – This checks your blood sugar levels and helps diagnose diabetes or monitor its management.
Calcium – Vital for bones, muscles, nerves, and heart function, abnormal levels can indicate various conditions.
Electrolytes – These include sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. They maintain fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function.
Kidney Function – Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels are measured to evaluate kidney health and efficiency in removing waste.
The BMP provides an essential snapshot of your body’s metabolism, giving healthcare providers the insight needed to detect imbalances that may indicate health problems, such as kidney disease, respiratory issues, or metabolic disorders.
