Evaluation of Serum Levels of N-terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Neonates with Respiratory Distress

evaluation 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...

Evaluation of Serum NT-Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Neonates with Respiratory Distress

Background Respiratory Distress (RD) is a life-threatening respiratory failure. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) in distinguishing respiratory and heart diseases in neonates. Materials and Methods Hundred fifty neonates aged 2-3 days randomly collected from those who hospitalized in the related ward of the Ali ...

N-terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide And Atrial Fibrillation

NT-proBNP is produced from both atria and ventricles. The primary regulation of production is at the synthesis level. The plasma half-life of NT-proBNP is 60-120 min. Cutoff value of NT-proBNP for diagnosis of heart failure is 125 pg/ml in the age group below 75 years and 450 pg/ml in the age group above 75 years. It increases in atrial fibrillation and drops after successful cardioversion. Hig...

بررسی ارتباط سطح سرمی N-terminal Pro-brain Natriuretic Peptide و شدت پره‌اکلامپسی

Background and purpose: Preeclampsia is a serious condition in pregnancy. Previous studies have shown that NT-pro BNP level is higher in preeclamptic patients than that in pregnant women with normal blood pressure. Severity of preeclampsia is one of the critical factors in managing patients, so, this study aimed at investigating the relationship between the level of NT-pro BNP and severity of ...

use of brain natriuretic peptide in predicting severity of respiratory distress syndrome in neonates

Risk assessment in patients with unstable angina/non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction and normal N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels by N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide.

AIMS To compare the accuracy of the N-terminal fragment of its pro-hormone (Nt-proBNP) and N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (Nt-proANP) in the prediction of the 2 year mortality and to investigate whether additional measurement of Nt-proANP to troponin I (TnI) could improve risk assessment in the subgroups of patients with unstable coronary artery disease (UCAD) and normal Nt-proBNP. ...
