Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP 14) Blood Test

* This is not a home test kit. You will need to visit a local lab for testing.

Also known as

Complete Metabolic Panel, CMP, Chemistry 14, Chem 14, Chemistry Panel, or Chemistry Screen.

What is the Purpose of a Complete Metabolic Panel?

The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a window into your overall wellness. This group of 14 tests provides an overview of the functioning status of your vital organs and bodily fluids. It evaluates the status of your kidneys, liver, and electrolyte and acid/base balance, as well as your blood sugar and blood proteins.

What Does the CMP Blood Test Measure?

CMP labs measure:

  • Blood glucose
  • Calcium
  • Sodium
  • Potassium
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Chloride
  • Albumin
  • Total protein in the blood
  • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
  • Alanine transaminase (ALT)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
  • Bliruin
  • Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
  • Creatinine

Only one blood draw is needed to run all 14 tests.

Who Should Take a CMP Test?

Doctors generally recommend a CMP blood test as part of your annual health checkup. The tests are used as a barometer of your well-being, ensuring you are in good health or spotting potential issues early so you can seek effective treatment. A physician may also order a CMP test if you’re on medications that may affect your liver or kidneys. Finally, a CMP can help your doctor diagnose a suspected medical condition.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel Preparation

Fasting is required for 12 hours before giving your blood sample. You may want to talk with the lab technician about your current medications prior to taking the test in case they influence the results.

Complete Metabolic Panel Results

The Personalabs CMP lab test results are easy to read. Once your test is completed, you will receive a report that shows both the normal “reference range” for the biomarkers that were tested, and how your test results compare to the recommended normal levels.

Abnormal CMP test results could be caused by medications you were taking at the time of the test, whether you ate or drank during the fasting period before the test, and whether you exercised before the test.

If your test results show abnormal biomarker levels, you may want to get tested again to verify whether there is reason for concern.
