CMP1 Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (GMC)

A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a blood test that measures proteins, enzymes, electrolytes, minerals and other substances in your body. A healthcare provider can use the results to diagnose, screen for or monitor health conditions or side effects of medications. Providers often order a CMP as part of routine healthcare.

1. Sodium

1. Sodium:

  1.    Date         Value  Reference Range
  2. TX1-1 12-17-2024   140      135-145 mmol/L
  3. UT1-1 08-18-2025   141    136-145(mmol/L)  

Excerpt:

Sodium is a metal that always exists in the form of a salt. The most common food form is sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt.

Table salt accounts for 90% of the sodium in the U.S. diet. Sodium helps balance fluid and electrolyte levels in the body. This balance can affect blood pressure and kidney and heart health.

Sodium is used in the form of inhaled sodium chloride to treat cystic fibrosis. It is also used to treat hyponatremia, prevent amphotericin B nephrotoxicity, and many other conditions, although there is not enough scientific evidence to support these other uses.

Total Protein, Urine Test: Understanding Kidney Health and Protein Levels

The Total Protein, Urine test measures the amount of protein in the urine and is an essential diagnostic tool for assessing kidney health. Healthy kidneys filter waste from the blood, keeping necessary proteins in the bloodstream and removing excess waste in the urine. However, when kidney function is compromised, proteins such as albumin can leak into the urine, indicating potential kidney damage.

Your globulin levels will affect the amount of ample proteins in the blood stream. If these proteins are not kept at the proper ration, it can be difficult for the body to properly fight infection, clot or transport nutrients to the muscles, leading to health difficulties for the patient. Medical examinations must be done to determine if the levels are where they should be, and what might be causing them to be lower or higher than normal. Medications can then be used to help return the levels to the normal stage to avoid any potential dangers.
