Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)

Albumin

Measures the main protein made by the liver. Used to assess liver and kidney function and nutritional status.

Alkaline Phosphatase

Enzyme found in liver, bone, and other tissues. Used to detect liver disease and bone disorders.

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)

Liver enzyme that is elevated when liver cells are damaged. Primary marker for liver disease.

AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)

Enzyme found in liver, heart, and muscles. Elevated levels may indicate liver or heart damage.

Bicarbonate (CO2)

Measures carbon dioxide in blood to assess acid-base balance and respiratory function.

BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen)

Measures waste product from protein metabolism. Used to evaluate kidney function and hydration status.

Calcium

Essential mineral for bone health, muscle function, nerve transmission, and blood clotting.

Chloride

Electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance and acid-base balance in the body.

Creatinine

A waste product from muscle metabolism. Primary marker for assessing kidney function.

Glucose

Measures blood sugar levels to screen for diabetes, monitor diabetes management, and evaluate hypoglycemia.

Potassium

Critical electrolyte for heart function, muscle contractions, and nerve signals. Important for patients on certain medications.

Sodium

Essential electrolyte that regulates fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.

Total Bilirubin

Measures bile pigment to assess liver function and diagnose jaundice or bile duct problems.

Total Protein (Serum)

Measures albumin and globulin proteins in blood. Helps evaluate liver, kidney function and nutritional health.
