BMET?????? - HELP
Posted: Jan 27, 2010
Is BMET a lab test? I'm totally second guessing myself, but something made me look it up today, and I can't find it anywhere now.
This pops up in cardiology notes, usually the physician orders a BMP and BMET. Does this sound right?
Thanks!!
it's BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) - not sure about the other one--nm

yeah, it was a typo - HELP
[ In Reply To ..]I caught that after I posted. Don't worry, I have it as BNP in the report. The other one is bugging me.
Thanks anyway
second one might be the dictator reversing - NT-BNP

No, can't be it - HELP
[ In Reply To ..]He says BMET like a word. He doesn't just say the letters. Could be BMED, BMET, something like that. I'm stumped. Thanks anyway.
I FOUND IT! - HELP
[ In Reply To ..]I finally found it after a lot of searching. I couldn't leave this one alone.
It is another name physicians use for basic metabolic panel/profile (BMET)
Thanks for the help!
