Does cmp include liver function?
I just received my lab results for a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, but I'm not sure what all it covers. I'm specifically wondering if a CMP typically includes liver function tests.

Yes, a CMP includes essential liver tests like ALT, AST, and bilirubin. Booking a single CMP package is much cheaper than booking separate kidney and liver panels. Compare rates on 1mg or Tata Health before booking to save some money.

Oh, thank you for clarifying that. My doctor wrote CMP on my prescription slip and I was really confused about what it actually meant. Does this test also require us to go empty stomach in the morning?

Yes, it definitely does. A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel checks your liver enzymes, proteins, and fluid balance. Don't worry about the results beforehand; just get the test done calmly and let the doctor review it.

Yes, my physician explained that a CMP covers 14 different biomarkers, including liver enzymes like ALP, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase. It is a very efficient way to screen for liver and kidney health simultaneously.

Yes, a CMP absolutely includes key liver function markers like ALT, AST, and bilirubin.
