About This Test
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel assesses the levels of several essential elements in the bloodstream: glucose, calcium, total protein, liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase), bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, albumin, carbon dioxide, and electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride. Irregular findings on the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), or a convergence of atypical results, could potentially signal a range of health conditions, including liver or kidney ailments, hypertension, or diabetes.
