What is a basic metabolic panel without Calcium Test?

A basic metabolic panel test helps to determine eight different substances in your blood. The BMP test gives complete information about chemical balance and metabolism. Metabolism is the chemical process of your body in which food converts into energy.
BMP blood test indicates blood sugar levels and electrolytes. This test checks the health and conditions of your kidneys.

A basic metabolic panel without calcium test includes the following seven substances.

Glucose - This is a form of sugar. Glucose is a significant source of energy for your body.

Kidney test:

A BMP test can indicate the working of your kidneys. Creatinine and BUN are the two substances that help diagnose conditions of your kidneys.

Creatinine - It is a waste or byproduct of your kidneys. Its levels can determine the regular and healthy functions of your kidneys.
BUN - Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) is a byproduct that determines the regular functions of your kidneys.

Electrolyte test:

Electrolytes are the minerals in your blood that are essential for your body. They help to flow nutrients into the cells and eliminate waste from the body. They carry an electric charge when dissolved in water. They maintain the acid-base balance, control fluid levels, and regulate nerve and muscle functions. The following are the elements that include in the electrolyte test:

Sodium - It is a mineral that helps maintain the water level in your body, which is essential for cells, tissues, and blood. Sodium helps with the functions of nerves and muscles.
Potassium - It is also significant for cell metabolism. This mineral transfers signals between muscles and nerves.
Chloride - It is a mineral that helps to flow the overall fluid of your body. It also maintains the acid-base balance in your body.
Carbon dioxide - It is a mineral that determines the health of your kidneys and lungs.

Abnormal levels of the above substances may indicate several health diseases.

A basic metabolic panel without calcium test is a routine test that measures seven different substances without calcium. A basic metabolic panel test often includes a CMP (Comprehensive metabolic panel) test. A BMP without calcium test evaluates the conditions of body functions, such as
 
  • Metabolism
  • Acid-base balance in your body
  • Fluid balance
  • Electrolyte (minerals) balance
  • Sugar levels in your blood
