High blood pressure affects the kidneys, heart and metabolism. This profile reflects the work-up clinicians commonly use at diagnosis and for ongoing monitoring.
Kidneys & electrolytes
Electrolytes — sodium and potassium — important before and during BP medication
Urea (BUN), Creatinine & eGFR — kidney filtering function
Urinalysis — screens for protein and other signs of kidney strain
Cardiovascular & metabolic
Lipid panel — cholesterol and triglycerides — overall heart risk
Fasting Glucose / HbA1c — screens for the diabetes that often accompanies hypertension
Why electrolytes matter
Several common blood-pressure medicines can affect sodium, potassium and kidney function, so these are checked at the start of treatment and periodically afterward. This helps your doctor keep your therapy both effective and safe.
Who it's for
Newly diagnosed with high blood pressure and establishing a baseline.
On BP medication and due for routine monitoring.
At risk — family history, overweight, or other cardiovascular risk factors.

Questions
Does this measure my blood pressure?
No — it's the lab work that complements your blood-pressure readings. Bring recent home or clinic readings to your consult.
Should I keep taking my medication before the test?
Yes, unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Don't stop prescribed medicines on your own.
How often should I test?
Commonly at diagnosis and then periodically — for example yearly, or sooner when medications change. Your doctor will advise.
Do I need to fast?
Fasting is recommended for accurate glucose and lipid results.
