Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)

CMP

The CMP is a widely used screening test that provides important information about your metabolism, including blood sugar, electrolyte balance, kidney function, and liver health.

The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests, providing a broad assessment of your body's chemical balance and metabolism. This 14-test panel evaluates glucose levels for diabetes screening, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, CO2) for fluid balance and nerve/muscle function, kidney markers (BUN, creatinine, eGFR) for filtration efficiency, and liver enzymes (AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin) for hepatic health. The test also measures proteins (albumin, total protein, globulin) which reflect nutritional status and liver synthetic function. Healthcare providers use the CMP to screen for conditions, monitor chronic diseases, and establish baseline health metrics.

Understanding Your Results

Results compare your values to established reference ranges. Out-of-range values may indicate conditions requiring attention. High glucose suggests diabetes risk, elevated creatinine or BUN may indicate kidney stress, and elevated liver enzymes (AST, ALT) can signal liver inflammation. Your healthcare provider interprets results in context of your health history.
