This test checks for diabetes, kidney function, liver function, and sodium, potassium, and calcium levels.
Blood Glucose

• Glucose

– Blood sugar level, the most direct test to screen for diabetes and also used in diabetes management.

Kidney Profile

• BUN or Urea Nitrogen (BUN) – An indicator of kidney function.
• Creatinine, Serum – An indicator of kidney function.
• BUN/Creatinine Ratio – Calculated by dividing BUN by creatinine. This ratio can suggest conditions including dehydration or intestinal bleeding.
• Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) – Measures kidney function to determine kidney disease stage and detect early kidney damage.

Liver Panel:

• Protein, Total – Assists in determining liver and kidney function and nutritional health.
• Albumin Serum – One of the major proteins essential for the healthy function of the liver and kidney.
• Globulin, Total – One of the major proteins that assist the blood to clot properly and also comprises infection-fighting antibodies.
• Albumin/Globulin Ratio – Calculated by dividing albumin by globulin. When paired with other test results, this ratio can assist in diagnosing various liver problems.
• Bilirubin, Total – Aids in detecting hepatitis, sickle cell, anemia, cirrhosis, alcohol, and drug abuse. High concentrations may result in jaundice.
• Alkaline Phosphatase – A protein vital in detecting bone disorders and liver disease.
• Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT)  – An enzyme helpful in evaluating liver function. An elevated level is an indication of hepatitis.
• Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) – An enzyme helpful in identifying liver damage. Abnormalities may represent liver disease.

Fluids & Electrolytes:

• Sodium – One of the major salts in body fluid. Sodium is important in water balance and the electrical activity of nerves and muscles.
• Potassium – Helps to control the nerves and muscles.
• Chloride – Similar to sodium, it helps to maintain the body’s electrolyte balance.
• Carbon Dioxide, Total – Used to help detect, evaluate, and monitor electrolyte imbalances.
• Calcium – A mineral essential for developing and maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It is also important for the normal function of muscles, nerves, and blood clotting.
