Sugar Land Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)

Our average wait times are less than 10 minutes.

Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) Test Details

Glucose

Glucose testing in the BMP provides critical insight into the body’s sugar metabolism. Elevated levels may indicate diabetes or other metabolic disorders, helping healthcare providers manage and prevent complications related to blood sugar imbalances.

Calcium

Calcium is essential for bone health, nerve function, and blood clotting. Monitoring calcium in the BMP helps detect issues with bone metabolism or disorders affecting calcium balance, guiding interventions to maintain healthy bones and overall function.

Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, CO2)

Electrolytes regulate nerve and muscle function, acid-base balance, and hydration. Measuring sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate in the BMP allows physicians to assess electrolyte balance, identify dehydration, and detect potential metabolic disturbances.

Kidney Function Tests (BUN and Creatinine)

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine evaluate kidney function. Elevated levels may indicate kidney dysfunction or chronic kidney disease, enabling early detection and timely intervention to protect renal health and overall well-being.

Conditions We Evaluate Through Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)

Severe Cases

These conditions can be life-threatening or require urgent intervention. BMP testing helps detect critical imbalances or organ dysfunction early.

Critically High or Low Blood Sugar

Extremely high or low glucose can lead to confusion, unconsciousness, or organ damage. BMP testing allows prompt identification and treatment of dangerous metabolic states.

Acute Kidney Dysfunction

Severely elevated BUN or creatinine can signal kidney failure or acute injury, requiring immediate medical attention to prevent permanent damage.

Major Electrolyte Imbalances

Severe disturbances in sodium, potassium, chloride, or bicarbonate may result in heart rhythm disturbances, seizures, or coma. BMP testing helps guide rapid corrective measures.

Open 24/7 For Emergencies

Moderate to Severe Cases

These conditions may need short-term monitoring, lifestyle interventions, or follow-up to prevent progression.

Moderate Blood Sugar Elevation

Elevated glucose may indicate prediabetes or worsening diabetes, guiding monitoring and early intervention.

Mild to Moderate Kidney Dysfunction

Slightly abnormal BUN or creatinine may suggest early kidney disease or dehydration, prompting further evaluation.

Electrolyte or Calcium Imbalances

Moderate sodium, potassium, chloride, or calcium deviations can cause fatigue, cramps, or mild cardiac issues, helping guide dietary or medical adjustments.

Mild to Moderate Cases

These conditions are less urgent but benefit from preventive care and ongoing monitoring.

Borderline Blood Sugar Levels

Occasional or slightly elevated glucose may indicate risk for diabetes, allowing preventive lifestyle changes.

Minor Electrolyte Variations

Small deviations in sodium, potassium, chloride, or bicarbonate can signal early hydration or metabolic issues.

Calcium or Bone Metabolism Concerns

Slight calcium irregularities may suggest nutritional deficiencies or early bone metabolism changes, informing preventive care.

Routine Kidney Health Assessment

Subtle changes in BUN or creatinine may reflect early kidney function changes, supporting proactive management for long-term wellness.
