The BMP requires a blood sample that normally is taken from a vein in your arm. The test can be used to evaluate kidney function as well as your blood sugar, acid-base balance, and fluid and electrolyte levels.

What lab test includes GFR?

Your kidney numbers include 2 tests: ACR (Albumin to Creatinine Ratio) and GFR (glomerular filtration rate). GFR is a measure of kidney function and is performed through a blood test. Your GFR will determine what stage of kidney disease you have – there are 5 stages.

Does BMP include a GFR?

Both the basic metabolic panel (BMP) and comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) are blood tests that help to assess how well the kidneys are working; however, the standard version of these tests do not include a calculation of eGFR.
