Prime Medic Pathology Referrals: Basic Metabolic Panel (Fasting)

At Prime Medic, we are dedicated to supporting your health and well-being through a wide range of medical services. While we do not directly provide pathology services, we understand the importance of essential tests like the Basic Metabolic Panel (Fasting). To ensure you receive the best care possible, we offer referrals to trusted pathology providers who specialize in these crucial assessments.

Understanding the Basic Metabolic Panel (Fasting)

The Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) is a blood test that provides valuable information about your body's metabolism—how your body uses food for energy. This panel measures the levels of various substances in your blood, including glucose, calcium, and electrolytes, as well as the function of your kidneys. Fasting before the test ensures the most accurate results, as it eliminates the influence of food or drink on the substances being measured.

What the Basic Metabolic Panel Measures

Glucose:

The primary source of energy for your body's cells.

Calcium:

Essential for the proper functioning of nerves, muscles, and the heart.

Electrolytes:

Includes sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, and chloride, which help regulate fluid balance, acid-base balance, and muscle function.

Kidney Function:

Assesses how well your kidneys are working by measuring blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels.

Why the Basic Metabolic Panel is Important

Diagnosis:

Helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, and electrolyte imbalances.

Treatment Management:

Provides information that can guide the treatment and management of various medical conditions.

Preventive Care:

Aids in the early detection of potential health issues before they become more serious.
