Metabolic Blood Test Packages

The Metabolic profile test is a combination of distinctive tests which measures eight different metabolic substances in your blood. This test will give you information about your body’s chemical balance and how your body uses food as energy (which is known as metabolism).

When do you need a Metabolic profile test?

• Your doctor may suggest Metabolic blood tests if they suspect that you might have some problem in your kidney, acid-base balance, and fluid-electrolytes balance.
• If you are being cured in the emergency room.
• If you are being monitored for certain diseases, such as kidney disease and high blood pressure.

What can you expect in this profile test?

A healthcare practitioner will use a little thin needle to take a little amount of blood through a vein in your upper arm. Then the blood sample will be sent to the laboratory for examination. The whole blood collecting procedure will be done in less than 10 minutes.

What preparation do you need to take before the test?

You will need to fast before your blood will be collected. Here fast means no consumption of food except water. Also, if you have any medical condition and take any medicines then you should consult with your doctor. Therefore, if your doctor gives any specific instruction then you should follow the specified instructions.

What will be the interpretation of the test results?

All test reports have their own reference ranges, and the reference range might be slightly different from laboratory to laboratory. If one of the substances, or combination of substances are abnormal, then it might indicate many different kinds of diseases including kidney disease, diabetes, breathing issues and others. However, it is more preferable to consult with your doctor to understand your test result more finely.
