Great question! A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) measures several things in your blood. For someone with leukemia, here are the general ranges considered normal:

Glucose (Blood Sugar)
- Normal: 70–99 mg/dL (fasting)

Kidney Function
- BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen): 7–20 mg/dL
- Creatinine: 0.6–1.2 mg/dL

- Normal: 70–99 mg/dL (fasting)

Kidney Function
- BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen): 7–20 mg/dL
- Creatinine: 0.6–1.2 mg/dL

Electrolytes
- Sodium: 136–145 mEq/L
- Potassium: 3.5–5.1 mEq/L
- Calcium: 8.5–10.2 mg/dL

Liver Function
- ALT: 7–56 units/L
- AST: 10–40 units/L
- Bilirubin: 0.1–1.2 mg/dL

Protein Levels
- Total Protein: 6.3–8.2 g/dL
- Albumin: 3.5–5.0 g/dL

It's worth noting that leukemia and its treatments can affect many of these values, so what's "good" for you personally may differ. LDH levels are also often monitored with leukemia, as elevated levels can signal disease activity.

Always review your specific results with your care team, as they understand your full picture best!
