Basic Metabolic Panel
The Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) is a comprehensive test that measures glucose, calcium, and electrolytes in your blood. These measurements are vital for assessing your body’s metabolism and kidney function. The BMP is often part of a routine health checkup, offering valuable insights into your heart health, kidney function, and the balance of important substances in your body. For accuracy, a fasting period of at least 8 hours is required before the test.
