Medical diagnostics play an important role in evaluating our health, and the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) test stands as a crucial tool in assessing various aspects of our body’s functionality. Let’s go into what the CMP test entails, its significance, preparation, and what the results can reveal about your health.
Components of a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) Test provided by My Care Labs:
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Test :Â BUN measures the amount of nitrogen in your blood that comes from urea, a waste product generated by the liver. Elevated levels may indicate kidney or liver issues.
- Calcium Test :Â Calcium is vital for bone health, nerve function, and muscle contraction. Abnormal levels can signify disorders related to bones, kidneys, or parathyroid glands.
- Chloride Test :Â Chloride plays a role in maintaining proper fluid balance and pH in the body. Deviations from normal levels could signal dehydration or kidney problems.
- Creatinine Test :Â Creatinine is a waste product from muscle metabolism. Elevated levels may point to kidney dysfunction or muscle-related issues.
- Glucose Test : Glucose is the body’s primary energy source. Abnormal levels can indicate diabetes, hormonal imbalances, or pancreatic disorders.
