Comprehensive Metabolic Panel – General

The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is an essential diagnostic test that evaluates overall metabolic health, organ function, and key biochemical markers. This panel provides valuable insights into liver performance, kidney function, electrolyte balance, and blood sugar regulation, making it a core component of routine health assessments.

Key Tests Included

• Bilirubin (Total)
  Measures liver function and helps detect liver disorders and bile duct issues.
• Calcium
  Essential for bone strength, nerve function, and muscle contraction.
• Bicarbonate
  Indicates acid–base balance and helps assess metabolic or respiratory conditions.
• Chloride
  An important electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance and pH levels.
• Creatinine
  A key marker of kidney function and filtration efficiency.
• Blood Glucose
  Evaluates blood sugar levels and supports screening for diabetes and metabolic disorders.
• Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
  Assesses liver health and bone metabolism.
• Total Protein
  Measures overall protein levels, including albumin and globulin, to evaluate nutrition and immune function.
• Sodium
  Critical for maintaining fluid balance, nerve transmission, and muscle function.
• Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT / SGPT)
  A liver enzyme used to detect liver inflammation or damage.
• Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST / SGOT)
  Another key enzyme that helps assess liver health and muscle integrity.
• Urea
  Indicates kidney function and protein metabolism.
