Metabolic Blood Tests – What They Reveal About Your Organs
By Tharb Faisl
What Are Metabolic Blood Tests? Metabolic panels are essential blood tests used to evaluate the health of your vital organs — especially your liver, kidneys, and electrolyte balance.
They’re split into:
- Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) – A quick screen for kidney function and blood sugar
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) – A broader panel that adds liver function and protein balance
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, these markers are included in multiple health screening profiles to give you insight into how your body is functioning on the inside.

Why Metabolic Bloods Matter
Unlike symptoms you can feel, organ dysfunction can creep in quietly. By the time you notice fatigue, swelling, or digestive issues, damage may already be happening.
This is why high-performance professionals, wellness-conscious patients, and those on long-term medications often check these levels every 6–12 months.
