Get your Metabolic Profile Comprehensive from Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an accredited diagnostic centre by NABL and NABH. Several blood tests are included on the panel, which give valuable information with regard to fasting blood glucose, liver function, bicarbonate levels, and also a set of kidney-related parameters, providing helpful information about metabolic fitness along with some organ function parameters.

About Metabolic Profile Comprehensive

Metabolic Profile Comprehensive is a combination of the indicated laboratory tests used to evaluate a select group of metabolic and biochemical parameters. It includes fasting plasma glucose (FPG), liver function test (LFT), serum bicarbonate, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). These tests help determine how well blood sugar is controlled, liver enzymes/proteins, acid-base balance, and kidney function. These could be used to support periodic health checks and facilitate research and/or observation of specific metabolic and organ diseases.

What is Metabolic Profile Comprehensive?

A comprehensive metabolic profile is a blood chemistry laboratory profile that measures those chemicals and changes in metabolism found in the bloodstream. The package includes:

• Plasma Glucose (Fasting): Evaluates blood sugar levels after fasting.
• Liver Function Test (LFT): This test identifies some enzymes, proteins, and other substances that are related to liver function.
• Serum Bicarbonate: Assesses acid-base balance.
• Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): Gives information about the function of the kidneys and the metabolism of urea.

When used together, they offer informative data regarding specific metabolic activity and organ activity.

Tests Included in Metabolic Profile Comprehensive

Plasma Glucose – Fasting

This blood glucose level is obtained while in a fasted state. It can be utilized to gauge glucose regulation, screening, diabetes, and prediabetes monitoring.

Liver Function Test (LFT)

LFT values that are measured encompass a selection of liver enzymes, proteins, and other biochemical markers. It can assist in checking liver well-being and in discovering abnormalities that could very well be linked to liver inflammation, damage, or any other liver illness.

Serum Bicarbonate

This serum bicarbonate is the blood concentration of bicarbonate, which is the bicarbonate component of the acid-base balance system. Bicarbonate can be abnormal in metabolic, kidney-related, and respiratory acid-base disorders. Both low and high levels may be significant.

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

BUN is a measurement of the amount of nitrogen (as urea) in the blood. It offers data about kidney function, and this is analysed in combination with other kidney assays and patient history.

Common Reasons for a Comprehensive Metabolic Profile

• Routine Metabolic Assessment: Allows a report on some biochemical and metabolic parameters.
• Diabetes Screening: Fasting glucose is a test made to determine the regulation of blood sugar.
• Liver Function Test (LFT): Used to detect changes in liver markers.
• Assessment of Acid-Base Balance: The levels of serum bicarbonate aid the assessment of disturbances in the acid-base balance in the body.
• BUN is used in a kidney-related evaluation, to gather information about Urea levels and function related to the kidneys.
• Monitoring of Existing Conditions: May be recommended for specific metabolic, liver, or kidney diseases as follow-up.
• Clinical Use: Assists clinicians in diagnosing biochemical abnormalities in patients with clinical features or signs/symptoms.

Conditions Evaluated

Liver-Related Abnormalities

LFT can assist with testing liver enzymes and other biochemical parameters, that may get disturbed if the liver is disturbed, damaged or in inflamed condition or is not functioning normally.

Acid-Base Imbalance

Conversely, the serum bicarbonate plays an important role in regulating the normal PH of the body. Low bicarbonate levels may occur in metabolic acidosis and some other conditions, while elevated levels may be seen in metabolic alkalosis or as compensation for certain respiratory disorders.

Kidney-Related Abnormalities

BUN is used to see how well the kidneys are working and is a measurement of blood urea nitrogen. The changes in values may need interpretation with creatinine, hydration, and other clinical parameters.

Metabolic Disturbances

Selected metabolic processes can be useful and are provided by fasting glucose, LFT, bicarbonate, and BUN. Abnormal results can assist doctors in deciding if there is any need to investigate further.
