No, a CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) does not check calcium levels.
A CMP is a blood test that measures various substances in your blood, including:
- Glucose: Measures blood sugar levels.
- Electrolytes: Measures minerals like sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate.
- Liver function tests: Measures the health of your liver.
- Kidney function tests: Measures the health of your kidneys.
- Protein: Measures the amount of protein in your blood.
To check your calcium levels, you would need a separate blood test called a calcium test. This test measures the amount of calcium in your blood, which can help diagnose conditions like hypocalcemia (low calcium) or hypercalcemia (high calcium).
