What this test is
This panel is a group of tests that check how your body's organs and systems are working. It combines a comprehensive metabolic panel, which measures chemicals and electrolytes, a urinalysis, which examines urine, and a lipid panel, which measures fats in the blood. Together, these tests provide a snapshot of your overall health.
What it measures
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) — includes glucose, electrolytes, and markers of kidney and liver function
- Urinalysis — checks for substances such as protein, glucose, and blood in urine
- Lipid Panel — measures cholesterol and triglycerides
What the test involves
The panel requires a standard blood draw from a vein in your arm and a urine sample. Both samples are collected at a lab or collection site.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this panel as part of a routine checkup or to screen for potential health issues. It can also be used to monitor existing conditions or the effects of certain medications.
Preparation
Preparation instructions can vary depending on the specific tests included and the lab performing them. Always follow the instructions provided by your collection lab or ordering clinician.
How results are reported
Results are typically reported to your ordering clinician within a few business days. Reference ranges for each test can vary by laboratory, so your results should be interpreted in the context of the lab that performed the testing.
