Metabolic Panel

Sample for Metabolic Panel

  1. Fasting blood is the best sample.
  2. The patient needs fasting for 8 to 10 hours.

Indications for Metabolic Panel

  1. For routine health check-ups.
  2. To evaluate kidney function.
  3. To evaluate the liver function.
  4. To monitor the medication which may affect the liver or kidneys.

The metabolic panel evaluates the function of various organs:

Metabolic panel measures:

  1. Blood glucose level
  2. Serum electrolytes
  3. Kidney function tests
  4. Liver function tests
  5. Fluid electrolytes.
Metabolic panel purpose

Metabolic panel purpose

The metabolic panel consists of the following:

  1. Glucose
  2. Proteins:
    1. Total protein
    2. Albumin
  3. Liver function tests:
    1. Serum bilirubin
    2. SGPT ( alanine aminotransferase)
    3. SGOT (aspartate aminotransferase)
    4. ALP (alkaline phosphatase)
  4. Kidneys function tests:
    1. BUN (blood urea nitrogen)
    2. Creatinine
  5. Electrolytes:
    1. Serum sodium
    2. Serum potassium
    3. Chloride
    4. Bicarbonate
    5. Serum calcium level
  6. Thyroid function tests.
  7. Lipid profile.

Metabolic syndrome:

  1. Metabolic syndrome is also called Syndrome X.
  2. Metabolic syndrome consists of the following:
    1. Insulin resistance.
    2. Hypertension.
    3. Abdominal obesity.
    4. Prothrombotic and proinflammatory conditions.
  3. Metabolic syndrome criteria:
    1. There is glucose intolerance with a fasting level of 110 to 125 mg/dL.
    2. Atherogenic stimulants are:
      1. Triglycerides = >150 mg/dL
      2. HDL-C = <40 mg/dL  males  and <50 mg/dL in females.
      3. Increased LDL
