What it means
A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) includes all the tests in the basic metabolic panel plus six additional liver-function markers: total protein, albumin, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Together the fourteen measurements give your doctor a broad snapshot of your kidney function, liver health, electrolyte balance, and blood sugar level. Blood is drawn from a vein in your arm. Fasting for eight to twelve hours before the draw is often recommended. Doctors order a CMP for routine physicals, pre-surgical screening, and monitoring of ongoing conditions.
