There's no harm in saying that blood testing is the most evolving part of any treatment process, whether it's about costs or technology. A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a blood test that ensures the overall wellness of your health through a series of laboratory tests
There are a lot of things to keep in mind when going for the CMP test as it directly explains the performance of your kidney, liver, blood sugar; measuring the complete blood profile of your body.
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) comprises 14 different laboratory tests to check the overall performance of your body. CMP specifically finds the ratio of how different chemicals are balanced to make energy for specific functions.
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel also gives the current status of the liver, kidneys, blood sugar, and protein and estimates your overall health profile. Mostly, patients who are diabetic or have affected organs as a result of some medications are sent for a CMP.
Glucose: checks the blood sugar level and diabetic status
Bilirubin: is a liver by-product
Creatinine: a muscle by-product
Total protein: finds out the protein concentration in the blood
Sodium, Carbon Dioxide, Chloride, Potassium: these electrolytes are responsible for balancing the acid/base level in the blood
Albumin: a liver product and a protein
ALP (alkaline phosphatase), ALT (alanine transaminase), AST (aspartate aminotransferase): liver products in the form of enzymes that catalyze the body functioning
Blood Urea Nitrogen and creatinine: these are the waste products extracted from the blood. This is done by the kidneys
Calcium: an important functioning mineral for the heart, muscles, and nerves. Calcium is an essential mineral for healthy bone and teeth maintenance.
The CMP is a relatively simple blood test and it only requires a small blood sample from your arm using a syringe. The physician inserts a small needle into your arm to take a blood sample. They then convert this blood sample into a small test tube for further processing.
The preparation for the CMP test depends on the purpose behind it. In some cases, your physician may ask you to fast(no eating and drinking) before the test for at least 8-10 hours but it's important to discuss everything with your doctor to ensure transparency.
Your test results tell a lot about your health performance and the metabolism of your body. In the case of abnormality, this means that your liver and kidneys are not functioning well or there's a chance of high blood sugar. Your physician can guide you for follow-up testing and the next process that is best for you based on your records.
The CMP quest is used to assess the overall performance of the body and the status of several components that define your healthy metabolism. It shows how well your liver and kidneys are performing and finds out the blood sugar level.
The test also helps the physician in gauging the electrolytes, fluid balances, and impacts of certain medications on the liver and kidney that can be affected as a result of prior treatment.
The basic metabolic panel (BMP) is a blood test that gives a general overview of your metabolism. BMP lab test consists of only 8 tests ( excluding liver and protein test) whereas CMP is a broad screen of overall health consisting of 14 tests.
The prices for blood tests can be surprisingly high for many of us. This is because most people don't bother to check the prices before their tests are done. This is why it's important to check the price before getting into any test whether it's CMP or any other laboratory test.
When it comes to the cost involved in a CMP blood test, there's no definite answer to this question. The cost for a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) solely depends on what provider you choose and where you currently reside. The range for the CMP test is between 10 to $94 depending on your provider and locality.

Please note that these services are not intended for any emergency medical situations. If you are having a life-threatening or serious condition that may require hospitalization, including, but not limited to, high-grade fever; low or high blood pressure; active serious infection, including, but not limited to, COVID; chest pain; shortness of breath; severe pain; or stroke-like symptoms, please call 911 immediately or go to a nearby emergency center as quickly as possible.
If you do not have a physician's order for labs or non-invasive radiology services, you may request it through our network of affiliated physicians/providers in selected states for an additional non-refundable fee, as listed (asynchronous consultation). Please note that an asynchronous consultation or physician-order service for diagnostics is not available for radiology tests requiring IV contrast. Patients needing a diagnostic study with IV contrast must complete an online visit with our physician first and, likely, will also need to have a lab test for their kidney function before a diagnostic study with IV contrast can be scheduled.
Once you request our provider or physician's order service, you will receive an email from us inquiring more details about your medical history. Based on the information you provide, one of our affiliated physicians or providers will make a determination about processing the order for the requested service. In some cases, as determined by our affiliated medical team, you may be required to provide additional clinical information or may be asked to have a more detailed online visit (an additional fee may apply) before your order can be processed. Please note that in some situations, or based on available clinical information, our team may even decide not to process the requested diagnostic order service and rather may recommend you to seek immediate medical attention in person or go to the nearest urgent care or ER. In that case, any advanced payment for the diagnostic service(s) will be refunded, but the physician's consultation or order request fee will remain non-refundable.
Please also note that any post-diagnostic service follow-up visit(s) or treatment(s) is not covered in this service fee and the ordering physician is not responsible to provide any continued care unless you sign-up for that service separately. Depending on your situation or test results, you may be advised to seek consultation with either primary care or a specialist physician (local or online) for further work-up and treatment. If you are unsure or have any questions, please call our customer support service before placing an order.
