What is this panel?
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel is used to assess your overall health as well as identify potential conditions like kidney and liver disease, hypertension, and diabetes, among others. This panel is also used to assess liver and kidney function if you are taking medications that may affect those organs.
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel measures health markers including glucose and calcium levels; proteins like Albumin along with the total amount of protein in the blood; electrolytes including sodium, potassium, and chloride; kidney-based levels like Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), which is a waste product filtered by the kidneys; and liver tests like Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), which can indicate liver disease if levels are elevated.
Who is this panel for?
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel is a routine health exam to see how your body is functioning, and to screen for common diseases. Therefore, it is a good panel for anyone who wants to check in on their overall health.
It is also a useful panel to order if you have been diagnosed with liver and kidney disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure, so you can monitor your progress with managing the illness. People who are on medications that affect the liver and kidney can order this panel to monitor the health of those organs, as well.
