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. ⭐Fluid and Electrolytes eBook: null Correction: 5:23 Calcium level should read 8.5–10.5 mg/dL (not mg/L).
