Lab test: A "bmp" stands for basic metabolic profile. In the past, it has been called a SMA or chem-8. This blood test checks your glucose, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, carbon dioxide, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine. Bascially, this lets your doctor check these 8 things without having to order each test individually.
