N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide measurements in hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants
OBJECTIVES Evaluate the role of NT-proBNP levels in Preterm neonates suffering from PDA and used as a screening tool for predicting HsPDA and guiding physicians to consider early echocardiographic evaluation. METHODS This is a monocentric prospective blind study which was conducted at Arar Central Hospital, Ar'ar, Saudi Arabia, during the period between Jan 2014 to June 2014. Thirty-three (33...
متن کاملPlasma brain natriuretic peptide as a predictor of haemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is an important cause of morbidity in extremely preterm infants. As increased plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a common feature of adult cardiac disease, we investigated the value of plasma BNP concentration as a predictor of haemodynamically significant PDA in very preterm infants. We studied 18 preterm infants (12 male) of median gestational age 30 week...
متن کاملN-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide: a measure of significant patent ductus arteriosus.
BACKGROUND B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a marker for ventricular dysfunction secreted as a pre-prohormone, pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (proBNP), and cleaved into BNP and a biologically inactive fragment, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Little is known about the clinical usefulness of NT-proBNP in preterm infants. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of plasma ...
متن کاملAtrial natriuretic peptide and patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.
Preterm infants with symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus had considerably raised plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide. Surgical ligation of the patent ductus arteriosus was associated with an immediate fall in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentration. Thus left to right shunting and left atrial distension may cause atrial natriuretic peptide release in preterm infants wit...
متن کاملUsefulness of Serum Brain Natriuretic Peptide Level for Screening Hemodynamically Significant Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Neonates
OBJECTIVE We studied usefulness of serum B-type natriuretic peptide level as a screening tool for detecting hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus in the preterm neonates. METHODS Sixty admitted preterm neonates with gestational age ≤34 weeks, birth weight ≤2500 gr, and age of >3 days have been enrolled in this study. We measured serum B-type natriuretic peptide levels at the be...
