What is abnormal CMP?
An abnormal Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) indicates deviations from the expected ranges for various components. Abnormalities can vary depending on the specific marker. For example, elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST) may indicate liver damage, while high creatinine and BUN levels may suggest kidney dysfunction. Abnormal glucose levels can indicate diabetes or impaired glucose control. Deviations from normal ranges for electrolytes, bilirubin, or protein levels may also indicate underlying health conditions. It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider to interpret the specific abnormalities in the context of an individual's overall health, medical history, and additional diagnostic tests for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
