Chemistry panel
Chemistry panels are groups of tests that are routinely ordered to determine a person’s general
health status.
They help evaluate, for example, the body’s electrolyte balance and/or the status of
several major body organs.
The tests are performed on a blood sample. usually drawn from a vein.
