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. SaludoZ! Jason |

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. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2007-05-04 03:48:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "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. |
