| 31300:BASIC METABOLIC PANEL | |||||||||
| Alias Names: | BMP / Basic Eval PNL / Mini Screen | ||||||||
| Methodology: | Colorimetry / Indirect ISE and Kinetic Rate | ||||||||
| Edit Date: | 6/3/2009 | ||||||||
| Components: | Calcium (Ca) / Carbon Dioxide (CO2) / Chloride (Cl) / Creatinine / Glucose / Glomerular Filtration Rage (GFR) / Potassium (K) / Sodium (Na) / Urea Nitrogen (BUN) | ||||||||
| Performed: | Daily | ||||||||
| Released: | Same day as tested | ||||||||
| CPT Code: | 80048 | ||||||||
| Specimen Collection Details | |||||||||
| Collection: | One 7.5 mL serum separator tube (SST). Also acceptable: One 4 mL green top tube (heparin) or 4.5 light green top plasma separator tube (PST). Preferred specimen is from patient fasting 8-12 hours; non-fasting specimen is acceptable. Do not draw from a limb receiving an intravenous infusion. Patient should avoid exercising forearm before collection, which can cause an elevation in the potassium level. | ||||||||
| Handling: | Allow to clot, centrifuge SST or PST within two hours of collection and transport in original tube. Centrifuge green top tube within 2 hours of collection and separate plasma into a plastic tube for transport. Refrigerate. Freeze if specimen will not reach lab within 6 days of collection. | ||||||||
| Stability: | 6 days refrigerated or 1 month frozen.. | ||||||||
| Standard Volume: | 2 mL serum or plasma. | ||||||||
| Minimum Volume: | 0.5 mL serum or plasma. | ||||||||
| Transport: | Refrigerated. | ||||||||
| Rejection Criteria: | Gross hemolysis; specimen left in contact with cells for more than 3 hours; tubes other than those specified. | ||||||||
