Prime Medic Pathology Referrals: Basic Metabolic Panel

At Prime Medic, we prioritize your health and well-being by ensuring you have access to the best medical services available. While we do not provide pathology services directly, we are dedicated to guiding you through the process by offering reliable referrals. One such important referral we provide is for the Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP).

What is a Basic Metabolic Panel?

A Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) is a vital blood test that measures eight different substances to assess your overall health and diagnose various conditions. These substances include:

• Glucose: The primary energy source for your body's cells.
• Calcium: Essential for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling.
• Sodium: Helps regulate fluid balance and is critical for proper nerve and muscle function.
• Potassium: Vital for heart and muscle function.
• Chloride: Helps maintain fluid balance and acid-base balance in the body.
• Carbon Dioxide (Bicarbonate): Assists in maintaining the body's acid-base balance.
• Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): Provides information about kidney function and hydration status.
• Creatinine: Indicates kidney function and helps diagnose kidney disease.

Purpose of the Basic Metabolic Panel

The BMP is a comprehensive test that provides valuable insights into your body's metabolic processes and overall health. It helps in:

• Diagnosing and monitoring conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and electrolyte imbalances.
• Evaluating the effectiveness of treatments for these conditions.
• Assessing overall health as part of a routine check-up.
• Monitoring the impact of medications on your body.
