Who is it for? Laboratory testing is not diagnostic for hypertension, but tests are frequently ordered to detect conditions that may cause and/or make high blood pressure worse and to evaluate and monitor organ function over time. Lipid profile in this panel is used to evaluate levels of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and assess the risk of developing atherosclerosis. There are many other tests other than mentioned above in the panel, that may be ordered to evaluate underlying causes of hypertension. These are as follow: 1. Urinary albumin (microalbumin), BUN (blood urea nitrogen), creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) – to detect and monitor kidney dysfunction or to monitor the effect of medications on the kidneys 2. Potassium – as part of the electrolyte panel, which also includes sodium, chloride, and carbon dioxide (CO2); to evaluate and monitor the balance of the body's electrolytes. For example, low potassium can be seen in Cushing syndrome and Conn syndrome, two causes of secondary hypertension. Some high blood pressure medications can upset electrolyte balance by causing excessive loss of potassium or potassium retention. 3. Calcium – to determine how much total calcium or ionized calcium is circulating in the blood; increased activity of the parathyroid glands, which produces an increase in serum calcium, is associated with hypertension. 4. TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and T4 – to detect and monitor thyroid dysfunction. 5. HBA1c is used to monitor glucose control over time in people with diabetes The basic metabolic panel (BMP) includes several of the tests listed above, so it may be ordered instead of the individual tests.
