Relationship between N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide plasma levels and renal function evaluated with different formulae in older adult subjects admitted because of dyspnea.

Abstract

NT-proBNP plasma levels progressively increase with worsening of renal function, and appear to be related to the five K/DOQI stages of CKD. For this purpose, GFR assessed with the GFR(MAYO) formula appears to better stratify NT-proBNP in older adult subjects.

Renal function should be considered when interpreting NT-proBNP levels in older adult patients admitted for dyspnoea.
