How comprehensive is a metabolic panel test ?
A metabolic panel test is a comprehensive assessment of various metabolic functions in the body, focusing primarily on electrolyte balance, kidney function, blood sugar levels, and liver function. There are two main types of metabolic panels: the Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) and the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP).
Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP): This test includes eight components:
Glucose: Measures blood sugar levels, critical for diagnosing diabetes.
Calcium: Essential for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling.
Electrolytes: Includes sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate, all of which are vital for maintaining fluid balance, heart function, and acid-base balance.
Kidney Function: Urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine are tested to assess how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): This includes all the components of the BMP, with additional tests that focus on liver function:
Liver Enzymes: Measures levels of enzymes like ALP, ALT, AST, and bilirubin to monitor liver health and detect potential liver damage or disease.
Total Protein and Albumin: These tests evaluate the overall health of the liver and other organs, as they play a role in protein synthesis and maintenance.
