Lab panel

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)

The CMP is a broad ~14-marker panel: blood sugar, electrolytes, kidney and liver function, and protein. It gives an overall snapshot of your metabolism and organ function.

Also known as: CMP · Chem 14 · Metabolic Panel

Preparation: Usually drawn fasting (8–12 hours).

The CMP bundles several groups: glucose, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium), kidney function (creatinine, eGFR, BUN) and liver (ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, albumin).

It's usually drawn fasting. Below are the markers in this panel; tap any to read about it.

Frequently asked questions

How does a CMP differ from a BMP?

A BMP (basic panel) is ~8 markers without the liver enzymes; the CMP adds ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin and albumin.

Do I need to fast?

Often yes (because of glucose), but follow your lab's or doctor's instructions.
