High levels of bilirubin may indicate liver or bile duct problems (such as cancer or gallstones).Ĭomprehensive metabolic panels are especially important for individuals who are managing a chronic health condition (such as diabetes), or who routinely take prescription medication that may affect the function of the liver and kidneys.Ī lipid panel is a group of tests that measures cholesterol and other fats in your blood. Levels of bilirubin - a waste product made by the liver - are also tested to determine how well your body is filtering red blood cells. A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) measures 14 different substances in your blood to give your doctor important information about your body's chemical balance and metabolism.ĬMPs measure the levels of: - Albumin - Blood urea nitrogen - Calcium - Carbon dioxide - Chloride - Creatinine - Glucose - Potassium - Sodium - Total bilirubin - Total protein - Liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and aspartate aminotransferase)Ī test of these levels can help doctors check several body systems such as: - Liver and kidney function - Blood sugar levels - Blood protein levels - Acidity in the blood - Electrolyte balance - MetabolismĬMPs check the same substance balances as a BMP, as well as levels of enzymes that are made by the liver (alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and aspartate aminotransferase).
