Plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide concentrations in a control population of infants and children.
7–44%) were confirmed as crystal arthritis with the repeat examination. We envision two leading possibilities to explain the increase in sensitivity associated with repeat examination of the same specimen. The increased sensitivity might be attributable to the increased time spent examining the slide. Thus, low concentrations of crystals missed in the first examination may be detected by the se...
متن کاملReduction in plasma concentrations of N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide following percutaneous coronary intervention.
B type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its pro-peptide N terminal fragment (NTproBNP) are raised in conditions associated with abnormal ventricular structure and function and are independent predictors of survival in diverse clinical settings. Patients without raised baseline plasma BNP demonstrate an early, transient increase in concentrations following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), ...
متن کاملPlasma N-Terminal Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Concentrations in Dogs with Pulmonic Stenosis
The detailed information between plasma N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations and dogs with pulmonic stenosis (PS) is still unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical utility of measuring plasma NT-proBNP concentrations in dogs with PS and to determine whether plasma NT-proBNP concentration could be used to assess disease severity. This ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Serum Levels of N-terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Neonates with Respiratory Distress
Background: Acute respiratory distress (ARD) is a critical respiratory failure due to lung injury of neonates leading to the clinical appearance of poor lung compliance. The aimed of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic values in differentiating respiratory from heart diseases with using of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) and Atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) in neonates...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations of N-terminal Pro-B-Type natriuretic peptide in pregnant women near labor and during early puerperium.
To the Editor: B-Type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is considered an important component of the adaptive mechanism that helps reduce the load on the myocardium through systemic vasodilatation, reduction in venous return, and reduction in vascular volume (1). Plasma concentrations of BNP have been shown to reflect cardiac dysfunction and volume overload in adults and children (2– 4). BNP is synthesi...
