A member asked:

I know had a bmp as pre-op to foot surgery, b/c i was taking spironolactone. does that test measure calcium? would i have been told if not normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Altho labs vary,: a BMP (basic metabolic profile) almost never measures calcium levels. However, it DOES measure those chemicals that are relevant for someone using spironolactone, in particular, your potassium (K+) level. If you want to know your calcium level, you could get a "comprehensive metabolic profile." Dr. Anne.
