Quality specifications for B-type natriuretic peptide assays.
BACKGROUND The objective of this report is to improve the quality of immunochemical measurements of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its N-terminal propeptide (NT-proBNP). The recommendations proposed are intended for use by manufacturers of commercial assays, by clinical laboratories using those assays, by clinical trial groups and research investigators, and by regulatory agencies, such a...
متن کامل[Clinical applications of B-type natriuretic peptide assays].
The natriuretic peptide system is activated every time the heart is subjected to injury, whether acute or chronic, as a compensatory mechanism for the effects of vasoconstriction changes that take place in these situations. The primary role of the system is to promote urine output and vasodilation. It is known, however, that a series of additional effects are triggered when these peptides are r...
متن کاملNatriuretic Peptide Type-B Gene
The structure of the mouse natriuretic peptide type-B (BNP) gene was determined by isolating and sequencing genomic clones. The mouse BNP gene was structurally similar to other natriuretic peptide genes and comprised three exons and two introns. Expression of the mouse BNP gene was found only in cardiac tissue as determined by ribonuclease protection analyses. Initiation of transcription was 31...
متن کاملBiomarker for Cardiomyopathy-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide
Cardiomyopathy is cardiac condition in which the normal muscular function of the myocardium has been altered by a variety of etiologies. Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is the most common cause of cardiomyopathy in North America and Europe. Idiopathic cardiomyopathy is the second most common cause, although this may partially include undiagnosed etiologies such as viral infection, drug ...
متن کاملNatriuretic Peptide Assays Revisited
Discovery of the endocrine function of the heart (1), which exerts a fundamental role in regulating cardiovascular homeostasis through atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), has opened up a new field of research that has resulted in multiple clinical applications (2). The human BNP gene encodes for a pre-proBNP olecule of 134 amino acid residues, including a sign...
