What does a comprehensive metabolic panel test entail ?

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)

A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a set of 14 blood tests that provide crucial information about your body's chemical balance and metabolism. It evaluates the function of vital organs such as the liver and kidneys, measures electrolyte and fluid balance, and monitors blood sugar levels. The tests included in a CMP typically cover:

1. Glucose: Measures blood sugar levels, important for diagnosing diabetes.
2. Calcium: Critical for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling.
3. Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, and Bicarbonate: These electrolytes are vital for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle function.
4. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine: Indicators of kidney function.
5. Total Protein and Albumin: Assess overall health and nutritional status.
6. Liver Enzymes (ALP, ALT, AST) and Bilirubin: These tests evaluate liver function.

The CMP is essential in diagnosing conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, and electrolyte imbalances, and it plays a key role in monitoring patients with chronic conditions or those on medications that affect organ function.
