Conditions associated with elevated BNP other than CHF are as follows: 1  Acute renal failure and chronic renal failure. 2  Hypertension (HTN) 3  Pulmonary diseases such as pulmonary hypertension, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
A BNP that remains elevated suggests that the treatment the patient is receiving for CHF is not effective. BMP, on the other hand, stands for basic metabolic profile. It is shorthand used by the ordering practitioner to tell the lab that he or she wants a group of tests done. The BMP includes a glucose, BUN, creatinine, and electrolytes. From these tests, the doctor gets a good snapshot of the bodyâs basic chemistry including how the kidneyâs and pancreas are working.
