Comparison of the Diagnostic Performance of Three Natriuretic Peptides in Hemodialysis Patients: Which is the Appropriate Biomarker?

Abstract

In hemodialysis patients, the fragments NTproBNP and MR-pro-ANP are largely elevated compared to BNP which is explained by accumulation. The prognostic performance of MR-pro-ANP is similar to that of NT-pro-BNP or BNP.
