Complete Metabolic Profile

[Jacci59]

I am just curious as to what tests are done with a Complete Metabolic Profile. ?? If anyone can tell me I would be most appreciative. Thanks

Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP) is old SMA 12 and includes Sodium (NA), Potassium (K), CLoride (CL), Glucose(GLU), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Creatine (Cr), Calcium (CA), Total Protein (TP), Albumin (Alb), Total Billirubin (TBilli), Alkaline Phosphotase (AP), transaminase (AST).

Basic Metabolic Panel(BMP) is old SMA7: NA, K, CL, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), GLU, BUN, CR

If fasting specimen indicated, that must be written seperately or identified on the lab slip.

Any blood work questions, feel free to contact me as former IV homecare nurse.

Why test SMA.7, calcium and albumin? anything to d o with drug addiction? or osteoporosis?
