Spanish term or phrase: perfil 20
Es un examen de sangre que incluye los siguientes 20 valores:

glóbulos rojos, hemoglobina, hematocrito, volumen corpuscular medio, glóbulos blancos, plaquetas, ácido úrico, bilirrubina total, calcio, colesterol, creatinina, fosfatasa alcalina, glicemia, prótidos totales, albúmina, globulinas, transaminasa SGOT, transaminasa SGPT, triglicéridos, urea, serología (RPR), además de serología RPR y la fórmula leucocitaria.

¿Qué nombre recibe este tipo de análisis en inglés? He visto "chemistry 20", pero es la primera vez que me toca traducir el término y preferiría corroborarlo con traductores con más experiencia en el área. Muchas gracias por adelantado.

SMAC 20
Explanation:
You'll really only find old-timers still using the term SMAC. The reason being, the profiles changed so often that the definition would be different from one facility to another.

It it is now generally accepted practice to list each test individually.

metabolic panel


Explanation:
Yvonne, I spoke with a medical laboratory technician who said that the specific tests or analyses you've listed above can be form part of different sets of tests. As the others have commented, there appears to be no one 20-test panel that contains these specific analyses. My technician friend used the terms 'comprehensive metabolic panel' or 'basic metabolic panel' to describe the tests that she runs which include some of these analyses. Maybe the term 'metabolic panel' can be of some use to you.

"A comprehensive metabolic panel is a blood test that measures your sugar level, electrolyte and fluid balance, kidney function, and liver function. ..."

"A basic metabolic panel is a blood test that measures your sugar (glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid balance, and kidney function."

The following may also be useful : * "Metabolic Panel 20" *... I just found this at: http://adam.about.com/encyclopedia/CHEM-20.htm. Suerte.
