Comprehensive metabolic panel
Overview
A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a blood test that measures 14 different substances in your blood to evaluate your body's metabolism, kidney function, liver function, and blood sugar levels. This routine laboratory test helps doctors assess your overall health status and detect various medical conditions including diabetes, kidney disease, and liver problems.
Common Causes
A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a blood test that measures various chemicals and substances in your blood to assess how well your organs are functioning. Common reasons for abnormal results include dehydration, kidney or liver problems, diabetes, medication effects, dietary factors, and electrolyte imbalances from sweating or poor nutrition. Lifestyle factors like alcohol consumption, high sodium intake, inadequate water intake, or recent illness can also affect these lab values.
Severity Levels
Mild: Results show minor variations from normal ranges that may not require immediate treatment but should be monitored regularly. Your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as dietary modifications or increased physical activity.
Moderate: Several values fall outside normal ranges indicating potential health concerns that need attention. Your healthcare provider will likely recommend follow-up testing, medication adjustments, or specific treatments to address the underlying issues.
Severe: Multiple critical values are significantly abnormal, suggesting serious medical conditions requiring immediate medical intervention. Urgent treatment and close monitoring by your healthcare team will be necessary to prevent complications.
Medical Attention
Contact your healthcare provider if you experience persistent fatigue, unexplained weight changes, excessive thirst or frequent urination, or unusual swelling in your legs or face. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea and vomiting, confusion, or difficulty breathing. If you have diabetes, kidney disease, or liver conditions, follow your doctor's recommended testing schedule even if you feel well.
