Hi Serge.
A "chem panel" is a palette of biochemistry tests. Often there is a "theme" to the palette, such as a kidney theme, or a liver theme, but not always. Usually a lab will offer more than one palette. The physician will choose the palette according to his needs.
In the example you give, this particular lab defines one of its biochemistry palettes as Chem1, Whole blood, Venous. If you click on this palette, you will see that Chem1,Whole Blood, Venous is defined as: Glucose, Ionized Calcium, Electrolytes: Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Chloride (Cl), Bicarb (HCO3)
If you click on Chem2,Whole blood, venous you see that the palette is: Venous Blood Gases ((pH; pCO2; pO2; HCO3 (bicarb); %O2 (oxygen saturation)). Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Chloride (Cl), Glucose, L-lactate, Ionized Calcium
In other words, Chem2, Whole blood, Venous is the same as Chem1, Whole blood, Venous plus the venous blood gasses.
It should be noted that these definitions are not universal. Each laboratory can name and define each of its various palettes any way it desires. |
