General Serum/Diagnostic Multianalyte Blood Test Panel (Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay)

What Does This Test Measure?

This panel includes a variety of blood markers, such as electrolytes (e.g., sodium, potassium), glucose, renal function indicators (e.g., creatinine), liver function markers (e.g., bilirubin, enzymes), and other substances like calcium, magnesium, and protein fractions. Some tests may also measure hormones, inflammatory markers, or metabolic products depending on the specific subpanel included.

Why Might You Need This Test?

Your healthcare provider may recommend this test to evaluate general health, diagnose or monitor chronic conditions (e.g., kidney disease, liver issues, diabetes), check for nutritional deficiencies, or screen for metabolic disorders. It can also be used during routine check-ups or before certain treatments.

Common Uses and Conditions Monitored

Common uses include diagnosing and managing conditions like kidney disease, liver problems, diabetes, electrolyte imbalances, and metabolic disorders. It may also be used to assess hydration status, detect infections, or evaluate nutritional status.

How Is the Test Performed?

A blood sample is drawn from a vein, usually in your arm. The sample is then processed and analyzed in a laboratory using advanced techniques, including immunoassays and other sensitive detection methods to measure multiple analytes simultaneously.
