Labs: SMA is old abbreviation for "sequential multiple analysis"; what we now generally refer to as a BMP or "basic metabolic panel". It is a series of lab tests your doctor often orders before a surgery checking on such important electrolytes as your sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarb,glucose,blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels. The "7" designation is the number of chemicals checked.
