Order Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) from JustLabs for $6 ($24 all-in for a single-test order: $6 + one $18 lab & physician order fee per order). Price includes lab processing at Quest Diagnostics. No insurance required.
The BMP is an essential screening test that measures blood sugar, electrolyte balance, and kidney function—key indicators of your body's metabolic health.
The Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) is a foundational blood test that evaluates eight critical markers reflecting your metabolic health. It measures glucose for blood sugar control, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, and CO2/bicarbonate) for fluid balance and nerve/muscle function, and kidney function markers (BUN, creatinine, eGFR) to assess how well your kidneys filter waste. Calcium levels are also included, important for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. The BMP is frequently ordered as part of routine checkups, emergency assessments, and to monitor patients on certain medications. It provides essential information quickly and affordably.
