About this procedure
A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) — a single blood draw that checks 14 markers including kidney function, liver enzymes, blood sugar, and electrolytes.
What to expect
Fast for 8-12 hours beforehand for the most accurate glucose result. The draw itself takes 1-2 minutes. CMPs are routine on annual physicals and any time a doctor wants to check organ function. Results come back same-day to next-day.
