A Comprehensive metabolic blood test measures 14 different substances in your blood and provides significant information about your body's chemical balance and metabolism. The CMP is usually ordered as part of a routine checkup or when you are being monitored for a specific condition like hypertension or diabetes or are taking medications that may affect your kidney or liver. The CMP provides significant information on your blood sugar levels, kidney health, and the balance of fluids and electrolytes.
A CMP includes tests for the following:
●    Glucose is a type of sugar the body uses for energy
●    Calcium is an important mineral and is required for the proper functioning of nerves, muscles, and heart.
●    Protein tests
Protein tests including Albumin, Total Protein, Albumin/Globulin Ratio are used to measure the number of proteins in the blood as they are imperative building blocks of all cells and tissues and are crucial for the overall growth and development of the body.
●   Electrolytes
Sodium, potassium, carbon dioxide, and chloride are electrolytes, which help regulate the body's fluid levels and its acid-base (pH) balance
●    Kidney Tests
BUN/Creatinine Ratio, Creatinine with GFR, and Urea Nitrogen tests are required to assess kidney function 
●    Liver Tests
ALP (alkaline phosphatase), ALT (alanine transaminase), and AST (aspartate aminotransferase) are different enzymes made by the liver and part of the CMP panel. Bilirubin is a waste product produced by the normal breakdown of red blood cells. This is used to evaluate a person's liver function or to screen for or monitor liver disorders.
