A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a blood test that provides detailed information about the body s metabolic and chemical balance, evaluating kidney ’ function, liver function, electrolyte levels, and blood glucose. It includes the components of the Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) and additional tests focused on liver health, offering a broader view of overall health. The CMP typically includes the following components: 1. Glucose: Measures blood sugar levels to assess energy metabolism and screen for diabetes. 2. Calcium: Evaluates calcium levels essential for bone health, muscle function, and nerve communication. 3. Electrolytes: Includes sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate (CO2), which help regulate fluid balance, nerve function, and acid-base balance. 4. Kidney Function Tests: - Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): Indicates kidney efficiency and protein metabolism. -Creatinine: Assesses kidney filtration and function. A CMP is often ordered as part of routine checkups or to diagnose and monitor conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and liver disorders. Abnormal results guide healthcare providers in identifying underlying issues and tailoring treatment plans.
