A Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) are essential diagnostic tools used to assess various bodily functions and detect potential health issues. While both panels include a set of blood tests, the BMP focuses on fewer aspects compared to the CMP. My Care Labs provides both these testing solutions, ensuring accurate and timely results for their patients.
Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)
The BMP typically includes eight tests that measure:
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
- Calcium
- Creatinine
- Glucose
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Bicarbonate (Total CO2)
- Chloride
These tests provide information about your body's electrolyte balance, kidney function, and blood glucose level. BMP is often used for routine check-ups or to monitor conditions like hypertension, kidney disease, and diabetes.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
The CMP includes all the tests in the BMP plus six additional tests to provide a broader overview of your metabolic and organ health. These additional tests are:
- Albumin
- Total Protein
- Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
- Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
- Bilirubin
The CMP evaluates liver function and can detect issues such as liver disease, infections, and other metabolic disorders. It is a more thorough assessment compared to the BMP and is useful for patients who require detailed monitoring of their organ health.
