An executive panel is a group of blood tests that are often ordered together as part of a comprehensive health assessment. The panel typically includes a variety of tests to evaluate the overall health of an individual, including tests to measure levels of electrolytes, enzymes, hormones, and proteins in the blood.
In addition to these tests, an executive panel may also include tests to measure levels of glucose (sugar), creatinine (a waste product produced by muscle metabolism), and bilirubin (a substance produced when red blood cells break down). These tests help evaluate the function of the liver and kidneys.
The executive panel is typically performed by drawing a small sample of blood from a vein in the arm, using a needle and a tube. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
An executive panel is often ordered as part of a routine health examination or when a person has symptoms that may be related to a medical condition.
