Understanding what common blood tests are intended to measure can help you better interpret the results.

There are numerous blood panels intended to test specific aspects of your health.

Low values of red blood cell count, or RBC , hemoglobin, or Hb , and hematocrit, would indicate that the patient is suffering from anemia.

The BMP measures the blood glucose levels at the time of the test.

Calcium is essential for proper functioning of your nerves, muscles and heart.

Blood urea nitrogen is the amount of the waste product urea your kidneys help remove from your blood.

These indicate the status of a person's metabolism, kidney health and electrolyte balance.
