Metabolic Panel Explained: Basic (BMP) & Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) Lab Values for Nurses

Metabolic panel blood test explained for nurses! This review will discuss the basic metabolic panel (BMP) and comprehensive metabolic panel (CMPT) normal ranges, causes of abnormal results, and your role as a nurse.

A metabolic panel blood test assesses: electrolytes, renal function, and liver function. Note: The BMP and CMP both assess the electrolytes and renal function, BUT the CMP also checks the liver function.

Results assessed with a Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) include:
Glucose, Calcium, Sodium, Chloride, Potassium, CO2, BUN, and Creatinine

Results assessed with the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) include: Glucose, Calcium, Sodium, Chloride, Potassium, CO2, BUN, Creatinine PLUS ALP, AST, ALT, Bilirubin, Total Protein, Globin, Albumin

Sometimes the metabolic panel will assess the anion gap and eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate).

For metabolic panel normal ranges and more details, please watch the video.
