These tests are also useful as indicators of organ health and the effectiveness of certain medications. Doctors use lab results as a first step in diagnosing a condition and for developing a plan of treatment.

Doctors will have patients get a metabolic panel as part of their yearly physicals and sometimes as part of a new patient visit. Metabolic panels provide physicians with a “status update” of kidney function, liver function, electrolyte and fluid balance. They’re also used to monitor chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Abnormal results may be indicative of a variety of medical conditions. Because this test provides a broad overview of your health it won’t tell your doctor what is specifically wrong, instead, abnormal test results (or groups of test results) are usually followed up with other specific tests to confirm or rule our a suspected diagnosis. Medical conditions that metabolic panels are used to help detect include kidney failure, liver disease, breathing problems, and diabetes related complications. Lipid Panel A lipid panel measures a patient’s total cholesterol. It measures high density lipoproteins (good cholesterol) Renal Panel Doctors will order a renal panel when they want to specifically look at how a patient’s kidneys are functioning. Abnormal results of this panel indicate one of several kidney disorders. The most common disorders detected by this test are chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, and acute renal failure. Hepatic Panel This panel consists of tests used to measure the function of your liver. A doctor will order a liver panel to detect the presence of liver disease or to distinguish between various forms of liver disorder. This test also provides the doctor with an idea of how well your liver functions. A hepatic panel is also used to follow response to treatment.
