چکیده
UNLABELLED The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between N-terminal brain natriuretic propeptide (NT-proBNP) plasma concentrations and the severity of organ dysfunction assessed by the Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in septic patients MATERIAL/METHODS NT-proBNP, SOFA score, and survival were evaluated in 20 consecutive septic patients. They were prospectively included in the study when the sepsis criteria according to the ACCP/SCCM definitions (modified by the Polish Working Group for Sepsis) were fulfilled. Blood serum NT-proBNP concentrations were determined in each patient at given time intervals and the severity of organ dysfunction was estimated according to the SOFA score. The first measurement was performed within 12 h after the patient's inclusion into the study, the second, third, and fourth at 12, 24, and 48 hours after the first, and then every 48 hours thereafter RESULTS The mean NT-proBNP concentration and the mean SOFA score were 140.80+/-84.65 pg/ml and 6.31+/-3.75 points, respectively. The correlation coefficient between NT-proBNP level and SOFA score was R=0.5164 (p<0.05). The mortality in the studied group was 30%. CONCLUSIONS NT-proBNP levels correlate with the severity of organ dysfunction as assessed by the SOFA score in septic patients.

Background: Heart failure is associated with structural and functional changes of the heart and physical activity is a likely intervention to improve it. This study aimed at investigating the effect of concurrent aerobic-resistance exercise training on NT-proBNP levels, blood pressure and body composition in patients with chronic heart failure. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial stud...
متن کاملEvaluation of Anthracycline Effects on NT-ProBNP Plasma Level in Children with Malignancy
Background: NT-proBNP is a marker that is released from ventricles in response to pressure and volume overload. Raised plasma level of NT-proBNP is seen in ventricular dysfunction, ventricular muscular mass reduction or ventricular ischemia. Anthracyclines are widely used in treatment of pediatric cancer but their use is associated with cardiotoxicity which increases mortality and morbidity. We...
متن کاملamino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a marker of prognosis and cardiac dysfunction in cancer
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and amino-terminal pro-BNP (NTproBNP) plasma levels are commonly high at the early phase of septic shock and have been suggested to be prognostic markers for this condition. It is uncertain, however, whether this increase reflects sepsis related cardiac dysfunction. In a recent issue of Critical Care, Mokart and coworkers showed the accuracy of NTproBNP in predi...

INTRODUCTION Increased serum B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been identified for diagnosis and prognosis of impaired cardiac function in patients suffering from congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and sepsis. However, the prognostic value of BNP in multiple injured patients developing multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) remains undetermined. Therefore, the aims of this...
متن کاملMarked elevations in N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide levels in septic shock
INTRODUCTION N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a cardiac biomarker that has recently shown to be of diagnostic value in a diagnosis of decompensated heart failure, acute coronary syndromes and other conditions resulting in myocardial stretch. We sought to study whether sepsis-induced myocardial dilation would result in an elevation of NT-proBNP. METHOD Serum NT-proBNP me...
