A general biochemistry blood test, also known as a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a group of blood tests that provide information about the body's metabolism and organ function. These tests help assess various aspects of the body's chemistry and can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of a wide range of conditions.
These tests are typically performed as part of routine health check-ups, to monitor certain medical conditions, or to investigate symptoms. Abnormal results may prompt further testing and evaluation to determine the underlying cause of any imbalances or abnormalities.
It's important to note that reference ranges for these tests can vary between laboratories, and interpretation should be done in consultation with a healthcare professional. Additionally, these tests are often considered in conjunction with a patient's medical history, symptoms, and other diagnostic information to provide a comprehensive understanding of their health status. If you have concerns about your blood test results, it's recommended to discuss them with your healthcare provider.
Your results will be emailed to you within 24 - 36 hours after collecting your sample. You will receive a text SMS notification when your results are ready. Your results are highly confidential, but you can choose to share your results with your healthcare provider, family, or friends.
Express Pathology reviews your test results and will contact you directly if they require prompt attention. You will be encouraged to speak directly with your primary GP.
