How does a CMP test aid in diagnosing metabolic disorders?

A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a blood test that provides essential information about your body's chemical balance and metabolism. It measures 14 substances in your blood, including glucose, calcium, proteins, electrolytes, and liver and kidney function tests. These measurements are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring metabolic disorders.

How CMP Aids in Diagnosing Metabolic Disorders:
Glucose Levels: Abnormal levels can indicate diabetes or other glucose metabolism disorders.
Calcium: Imbalances may point to parathyroid gland issues, kidney disease, or bone diseases.
Proteins (Albumin and Total Protein): Low levels can suggest liver or kidney disease, or malnutrition.
Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, CO2, Chloride): Imbalances can indicate dehydration, kidney disease, or respiratory issues.
Liver Function (ALP, ALT, AST, Bilirubin): Elevated levels may signify liver damage or disease.
Kidney Function (BUN, Creatinine): Abnormal levels can indicate kidney dysfunction or disease.
