About the test
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a group of 14 blood tests that provide important information about metabolism, kidney and liver function, electrolyte and acid-base balance, blood sugar levels, and protein levels.
Included biomarkers & Reference ranges
| Biomarker | Reference range |
|---|---|
| Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) An enzyme found mainly in the liver and bones. High levels can signal liver disease, bile duct blockage, or bone conditions. | 35–150 IU/L |
| Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) A liver enzyme released into the blood when liver cells are damaged. One of the main markers used to screen for liver inflammation or injury. | 6–29 IU/L |
| Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) An enzyme found in the liver, heart, and muscles. Elevated levels can point to liver damage, though it's less liver-specific than ALT. | 10–35 IU/L |
| Albumin The main protein made by your liver, which helps balance fluids and carries hormones, vitamins, and medications through your blood. Low levels can point to liver, kidney, or nutrition issues. | 3.6–5.1 g/dL |
| BUN/Creatinine Ratio Compares two kidney-related waste markers to help distinguish the cause of abnormal kidney values, such as dehydration versus a kidney-specific problem. | 6–22 Ratio |
| Calcium Measures the total calcium in your blood, important for bone health, muscle function, nerve signaling, and blood clotting. | — |
| Carbon Dioxide Reflects the bicarbonate level in your blood, a key part of your body's acid-base balance. Abnormal levels can point to metabolic or respiratory issues. | — |
| Chloride An electrolyte that works with sodium and potassium to maintain fluid balance and acid-base status in your body. | — |
| Creatinine A waste product from muscle metabolism, filtered by your kidneys. One of the main markers used to assess kidney function. | 0.4–1.5 mg/dL |
| Globulin A group of blood proteins that includes antibodies and various transport proteins. Assessed together with albumin to evaluate liver, kidney, and immune function. | 1.9–3.7 g/dL |
| Glucose Your blood sugar level at the time of the test — a core marker for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes and metabolic health. | — |
| Potassium An essential electrolyte that plays a critical role in heart rhythm, muscle function, and nerve signaling. | — |
| Sodium An essential electrolyte that regulates fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve and muscle function. | — |
| Total Bilirubin The combined level of both processed and unprocessed bilirubin in your blood, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. Used to evaluate liver function and jaundice. | 0.2–1.2 mg/dL |
| Total Protein The combined amount of all proteins in your blood, mainly albumin and globulins, used to help evaluate liver, kidney, and nutritional status. | 6.1–8.1 g/dL |
| Blood Urea Nitrogen Blood urea nitrogen, a waste product filtered by your kidneys. Used along with creatinine to assess kidney function and hydration status. | — |
| Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimated glomerular filtration rate — a calculated estimate of how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood, based on creatinine and other factors. | — |
