BNP levels can help your doctor figure out if you have heart failure or something else that has similar symptoms, includingshortness of breath. The test can also show if your heart failure has gotten worse. It’ll help your doctor decide what treatments you need and if you need to go to...
Increased Plasma Levels of Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction. Circulation 1993 Jul; 88(1): 82-91. doi: 10.1161/01.cir.88.1.82. 摘要 背景:脑钠尿肽是一种主要由心室分泌的新型钠尿肽, 并且已证明其血浆水平在慢性充血性心力衰竭的患者中 显著增加.这项研究旨在...
Along with your BNP or NT-proBNP level, the test results will include the reference range, which represents the expected levels in a healthy adult. The reference range may vary slightly among laboratories. Check your test report for the reference range and the units used by the lab. BNP or ...
A BNP test is a blood test that is used to check a person's B-type natriuretic peptide levels, which are associated with heart...
Those (such as obese patients) with clinical HF but lower than expected serum NT-pro-BNP levels would be excluded from this study. The results from the current study may not be applied to all HF patients, and the predictability of NT-pro-BNP was probably inflat- ing. Third, the ...
When assessing the evidence for diagnostic tests, we often ask the wrong questions. We love to talk about a test’s sensitivity and specificity, but rarely consider its overall clinical impacts. According to Fryback (1991), there are 6 levels of diagnostic test quality that we should consider...
The troponin test lost its ‘pregnancy test’ quality with the different users. Different opinions exist on the change of hs-cTn levels compared to simple ‘positive–negative’ interpretation and thereby makes diagnosis finding more complex than before. ...
hs-CRP levels tended to be higher in KD patients compared to controls. This study indicates that NT-pro-BNP might be a more useful laboratory marker as an adjuvant diagnostic tool for KD than hs-CRP. Especially in a patient with incomplete clinical features of KD, the diagnosis and the ...
检测仪器为美国 BROSITE (博适) IN-CORPORATED TRIAGE BNP TEST (9800XR )。 三、分组方法 按格拉斯哥昏迷评分(GCS 评分)标准评定病情轻重 ,并分GCS ≤8 分组及GCS 8 分组;根据出血量的大小分组, 出血量按多田氏 公式(π/ 6 ×长×宽×层数) 计算, 将其分为大量脑出血(LH) 9 例, 出血量 30ml ;中...
Levels of BNP(1-32) and proBNP(1-108) of patients with an acute coronary disorder (668±619 and 1,518±1,533 pg/ml for proBNP(1-108) and BNP(1-32) respectively and assayed according to the invention) were higher than those of healthy subjects (37±32 and 227±172 pg/ml for ...
