CMP stands for?

• A. Lipid panel.
• B. Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, evaluates the function of the liver.
• C. Complete Blood Count.
• D. Cardiac Metabolic Panel.

Answer: (B)

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel is a broad set of blood tests that screens metabolism and organ function, especially the liver and kidneys. It includes liver enzymes (AST and ALT), bilirubin, albumin, total protein, kidney function markers (creatinine and BUN), electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate), glucose, and calcium. This panel provides a wide view of metabolic and organ health, not just liver function, which is why it’s different from a lipid panel (cholesterol tests) or a complete blood count (blood cell counts). The term Cardiac Metabolic Panel isn’t the standard label for this test; for heart-related assessment clinicians use cardiac-specific tests such as troponin.
