Description
What is the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)?
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel is a cluster of tests performed on a blood sample. It plays a crucial role in gauging your overall health status, focusing on vital areas like kidney and liver function, blood sugar levels, protein levels, and electrolyte balance. Understanding the CMP is essential for everyone interested in a proactive approach to health.
Why is the CMP Test Important?
The CMP test is like a health detective. It provides a wealth of information about how your organs are functioning and if your body is processing sugars and proteins correctly. It’s a standard part of routine check-ups and when diagnosing why you might be feeling under the weather.
