What tests are included in the 21-item biochemical panel?

Biochemical tests comprising 21 items are generally selected based on the patient's condition, evaluating liver function, blood glucose, kidney function, and blood lipids through blood analysis to effectively detect potential diseases. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Liver Function Biochemical Tests

During biochemical testing, if alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels exceed the normal range, this indicates impaired liver function, possibly due to conditions such as cirrhosis causing liver damage.

2. Fasting Blood Glucose Biochemical Test

Patients usually need to undergo tests for fasting blood glucose and blood glucose two hours before meals. If blood glucose levels are higher than normal, diabetes may be indicated.

3. Kidney Function Biochemical Tests

If a patient's uric acid level is above normal, hyperuricemia may be present. Elevated levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen suggest renal insufficiency.

In addition, there are other tests such as lipid profile assessments. The specific tests required should be reasonably selected under a doctor's guidance according to the patient's medical condition.
