NT-proBNP levels in preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction as well as in the prediction on an imminent delivery

Abstract

We observed that NT-proBNP levels are higher in early onset preeclampsia than in late onset. Moreover, diastolic dysfunction is higher in early onset than in late-onset term preeclampsia. An NT-proBNP value >136 pg/mL has a high positive predictive value for an imminent delivery within 10 days.
