What is the test panel?
The test panel is a medical term concerning a number of tests that have been combined in advance to create a comprehensive analysis of a specific health condition. It is usually used to help physicians and analysts to accurately diagnose and treat a certain disease. The test panels are given to the patient not only for the abolition of the disease, but also as preventive measures in routine health controls. The person can also undergo a test panel to determine whether to use any substances such as medicines or alcohol. For example, a complete blood count (CBC) or a blood panel that analyzes blood, will have tests such as the number of white and red blood cells, the number of plates and the level of sugar contained in the blood. However, these individual tests may not be included in the liver panel, which also requires blood from the patient, but analyzes a different element, such as various enzymes and protein in the blood. Test panels are also created on the basis of analyzing samples such as urine, saliva or skin cells because these samples are not alwayscontain the same elements; Therefore, some tests would be considered unnecessary.
In addition to blood and liver panels, other common test panels are available, such as heart risk, kidneys and metabolic panels. The heart risk panel as it is designed in the term analyzes the heart of the heart and is looking for any types of inflammation in the body that can cause blood flow to be reduced. This test panel includes a CBC, a lipid panel that measures cholesterol levels and other tests that can add up to more than 20 individual tests. The kidney panel specifically evaluates the kidneys by analyzing the blood elements such as calcium, creatinine and glucose. On the other hand, the metabolic panel is a combination of Intised tests for both liver and kidneys, as well as for the level of sugar in the patient's blood.
The advantage of the test panel is that it provides a very thorough assessment of the sample and is generally cheaper because it is very EF for laboratoriesEctual to perform large doses of tests at the same time. The test results are also quickly determined. However, the disadvantage of testing panels is that they tend to be less accurate when additional tests are included in one panel, especially if laboratory tools and chemical solutions are partial. In statistical studies, several tests in the panel consisting of 20 tests can show unusual or inaccurate results.
