Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP) Analyzer

A Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a commonly ordered blood test that evaluates kidney function, liver function, blood sugar regulation, electrolyte balance and overall metabolic health. According to Wikipedia’s CMP article , it usually includes 14 components grouped into metabolic categories.

Doctors order a CMP for routine checkups, before surgery, to monitor medications, or to investigate symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, abnormal blood pressure, or suspected dehydration. The CMP Analyzer helps you understand each marker and how it fits into your overall health picture.

A CMP typically includes the following groups:

• Electrolytes: Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, CO₂ (Bicarbonate)
• Kidney markers: BUN, Creatinine, eGFR (sometimes included)
• Liver markers: ALT, AST, ALP, Bilirubin
• Proteins: Total Protein, Albumin
• Blood sugar: Glucose

The analyzer groups these values to highlight patterns such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, liver irritation or early kidney stress. Each parameter is compared with typical adult reference ranges and explained in neutral, easy-to-understand terms.

For deeper insight into kidney-related markers specifically, you may also explore the Kidney Function Analyzer or calculate filtration using the eGFR Calculator.

The CMP Analyzer accepts all values from your lab report exactly as printed. After clicking “Analyze CMP”, the tool:

• Checks your values against common adult reference ranges.
• Labels each result as low, normal or high.
• Groups electrolytes, kidney markers, liver enzymes and proteins into educational summaries.
• Highlights patterns such as low electrolytes, enzyme elevations, or signs of metabolic stress.

These summaries are not diagnostic—they simply mirror how clinicians categorize CMP patterns to understand hydration, organ function and metabolic balance.

CMP results often fall into recognizable, educational patterns:

• Electrolyte imbalance – high or low sodium, potassium or bicarbonate may suggest hydration or acid–base changes.
• Elevated liver enzymes – higher ALT/AST sometimes reflect liver irritation; high ALP may relate to bile flow issues.
• Abnormal kidney markers – high BUN or creatinine may indicate reduced filtration or dehydration.
• Low proteins – albumin or total protein changes may be associated with diet, chronic conditions or liver synthesis capacity.
• High glucose – may suggest issues with blood sugar regulation.

The CMP Analyzer summarizes these patterns without suggesting specific conditions, leaving medical conclusions to healthcare professionals.

Many users also check the Electrolytes Analyzer for more detailed sodium–potassium interpretation.

Using the CMP Analyzer is straightforward:

• Open your CMP report from your lab portal.
• Enter each value (glucose, electrolytes, liver enzymes, proteins, kidney markers).
• Click “Analyze CMP”.
• Scroll to read the colored badges and educational explanation.

You can compare older CMP results to observe trends in electrolytes, liver markers or kidney function. These patterns can help guide discussions with your healthcare provider.

When reviewing CMP results, users often also explore the BMI Calculator or the Lipid Profile Analyzer to understand cardiovascular and metabolic health together.

Several tools complement the CMP Analyzer on labscan.cloud:

• Kidney Function Analyzer – explains creatinine, BUN and filtration-related markers.
• Liver Function Test Analyzer – helps interpret ALT, AST, ALP and bilirubin.
• Electrolytes Analyzer – detailed interpretation of sodium, potassium and chloride.
• Cardiac Markers Analyzer – provides context when CMP is part of cardiovascular evaluation.

These tools work together to give a fuller educational picture of metabolic health while leaving diagnosis and treatment decisions to your medical team.

Does a normal CMP mean I have no medical issues?
Not always. CMP values are one part of a much larger health assessment. Symptoms, imaging and other labs can still reveal problems even with a normal CMP.

Can this tool diagnose liver or kidney disease?
No. It can show patterns that doctors commonly analyze, but diagnosis requires clinical evaluation.

Are reference ranges the same everywhere?
No. Laboratories use slightly different ranges. The analyzer uses typical adult intervals for educational reference only.

Does the CMP Analyzer support children’s results?
Not at this time. Pediatric values differ significantly and must be interpreted by pediatric specialists.

By combining the CMP Analyzer with other calculators on labscan.cloud, you can better understand how electrolytes, kidney markers and liver enzymes relate to each other—while always relying on your physician for diagnosis and treatment.
