Chemistry Panels

Chemistry panels are groups of tests that are routinely ordered to determine a person’s general health status. They help evaluate, for example, the body’s electrolyte balance and/or the status of several major body organs. The tests are performed on a blood sample, usually drawn from a vein. Here is a list of standard chemistry panels used nationwide:

Basic Metabolic Panel

1. Sodium
2. Potassium
3. Chloride
4. Carbon Dioxide
6. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
7. Creatinine
8. Glucose

Thyroid Panel

1. TSH – Thyroid stimulating hormone
2. T4 – Free T4 (Thyroxine)
3. Thyroid Uptake

Electrolyte Panel

1. Sodium
2. Potassium
3. Chloride
4. Carbon Dioxide

Hepatic Function Panel

1. ALB – Albumin
2. ALP – Alkaline Phosphatase
3. ALT
4. AST
5. Total Bilirubin
6. Total Protein
7. Direct Bilirubin

Lipid Panel

1. HDL – High Density Lipoprotein
2. LDL – Low Density Lipoprotein
3. Total Cholesterol
4. Triglycerides

Renal Function Panel

1. Sodium
2. Potassium
3. Chloride
4. Carbon Dioxide
5. Calcium
6. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
7. Creatinine
8. Glucose
9. Phosphorus
10. ALB – Albumin

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

1. Sodium

9. ALB – Albumin
10. ALP – Alkaline Phosphatase
11. ALT
12. AST
13. Total Bilirubin
14. Total Protein
15. Direct Bilirubin
