LAB TEST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS -
BMP
a group of blood test that provided information about the body's metabolism. - Answer-What is Basic
Metabolic Panel
BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen), CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), Creatinine, Glucose, Serum Chloride, Serum
Potassium, Serum Sodium - Answer-Lab Tests Performed for Basic Metabolic Panel
to evaluate the kidney function (BUN, CO2, Creatinine), blood acid/base balance (Serum Chloride), levels
of blood sugar (Glucose) and electrolytes (Serum Chloride, Potassium and Sodium) - Answer-Why is the
Test "Basic Metabolic Panel" is important
Albumin - Answer-Depending on which Lab to use, Basic Panel Metabolism also check the levels of
Calcium and Protein; also called as_______
7 to 18 mg/dL - Answer-The Normal values of BUN
22-29 mEq/L - Answer-The Normal Values of CO2
, .6 to 1.2
0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6 to 1.1 mg/dL for women - Answer-The Normal Values of Creatinine
70 and 100 mg/dL (fasting blood glucose test); Below 125 mg/dL (depend on when you last ate for
random blood glucose test. (100 to 125 pre-diabetes) - Answer-The normal values of Glucose
98-106 mEq/L - Answer-The normal values of Chloride
3.5 to 5.1 mEq/L - Answer-The normal values of Potassium
135 to 145 mEq/L - Answer-The normal values of Sodium
to measure the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood. To check the Kidney function - Answer-Why is
BUN test important?
CHF, Renal Failure, GI bleeding/excessive protein levels, Hypovolemic, Heart Attack, Shock - Answer-The
effects of Higher-than-Normal levels of BUN
Liver Failure, Low Protein diet, Malnutrition, Over-hydrated - Answer-The effects of Lower-than-normal
levels of BUN
It is an important part of muscle excreted by the Kidney. If the Kidney Function is abnormal creatinine
levels will increase in the blood (because less creatinine is excreted through urine) - Answer-Why is
Creatinine test important?
changes in CO2 level indicates losing or retaining fluid which cause the imbalance of body's electrolytes -
Answer-Why is CO2 test important?
