# Chemistry Panel

## What is the Chemistry Panel?

If you're looking for a comprehensive blood test to evaluate various aspects of your health, Ember Naturopathic offers a general chemistry panel. This test assesses your overall health by evaluating various aspects of your body's chemistry, including electrolytes, liver enzymes, kidney function, and more. Ember Naturopathic partners with Alberta Precision Labs, a leading medical laboratory, to provide you with accurate and reliable test results.

## What Does the Chemistry Panel Assess?

#### The Chemistry Panel assesses several different components in your blood, including:

Electrolytes

Electrolytes are essential minerals that help regulate various bodily functions, including nerve and muscle function, hydration, and blood pressure. The Chemistry Panel evaluates levels of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride.

Liver Function

The liver is responsible for metabolizing nutrients, filtering toxins from the blood, and producing bile. The Chemistry Panel evaluates liver enzymes, such as ALT and AST, to assess liver function.

Kidney Function

The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and regulating electrolyte levels. The Chemistry Panel evaluates kidney function by assessing levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN).

Glucose

The Chemistry Panel assesses blood sugar levels to evaluate the risk of diabetes and other metabolic disorders.

Proteins

The Chemistry Panel evaluates levels of proteins such as albumin and globulin, which are important for maintaining proper hydration and immune function.

Calcium

Calcium is essential for bone health and muscle function. The Chemistry Panel evaluates calcium levels to assess overall health.

Cholesterol

The Chemistry Panel evaluates levels of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol to assess the risk of heart disease.

## How to Prepare for the Chemistry Panel Blood Test

Fast for at least 8 hours before the test, as some components may be affected by recent meals.

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Inform your healthcare provider of any medications or supplements you are taking, as these may affect the test results.

## Understanding Your Chemistry Panel Results

Once your Chemistry Panel results are available, your Ember Naturopathic healthcare provider will review them with you. Your results will be compared to optimal ranges to determine if any values are outside of the normal range. Abnormal results may indicate an underlying health condition that requires further evaluation.
