CMP14+eGFR

The comprehensive metabolic panel or CMP blood test is a group of 14 laboratory tests ordered to give information about the current status of your liver, kidneys, electrolytes, and acid/base balance. The CMP test gives the current status of your blood sugar and blood proteins also.

• Glucose – Blood sugar level, the most direct test to screen for diabetes and also used in diabetes management.

• Kidney Profile
  • Bun or Urea Nitrogen (BUN) – An indicator of kidney function.
  • Creatinine, Serum – An indicator of kidney function.
  • Bun/Creatinine Ratio – Calculated by dividing BUN by creatinine. This ratio can suggest conditions including dehydration or intestinal bleeding.
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) – Measures kidney function to determine kidney disease stage and detect early kidney damage.

• Liver Panel
  • Protein, Total – Assists in determining liver and kidney function and nutritional health.
  • Albumin Serum – One of the major proteins essential for the healthy function of the liver and kidney.
  • Globulin, Total – One of the major proteins that assist the blood to clot properly and also comprises infection-fighting antibodies.
  • Albumin/Globulin Ratio – Calculated by dividing albumin by globulin. When paired with other test results, this ratio can assist in the diagnosis of a variety of liver problems.
  • Bilirubin, Total – Aids in the detection of hepatitis, sickle cell, anemia, cirrhosis, alcohol, and drug abuse. High concentrations may result in jaundice.
  • Alkaline Phosphatase – A protein vital in detecting bone disorders and liver disease.
  • Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) – An enzyme helpful in evaluating liver function. An elevated level is an indication of hepatitis.
  • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) – An enzyme helpful in identifying liver damage. Abnormalities may represent liver disease.

• Fluids & Electrolytes
  • Sodium – One of the major salts in body fluid. Sodium is important in water balance and the electrical activity of nerves and muscles.
  • Potassium – Helps to control the nerves and muscles.
  • Chloride – Similar to sodium, it helps to maintain the body’s electrolyte balance.
  • Carbon Dioxide, Total – Used to help detect, evaluate, and monitor electrolyte imbalances.
  • Calcium – A mineral essential for the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It is also important for the normal function of muscles, nerves, and blood clotting.
