Prognostic Value of Natriuretic Peptide Levels for Adverse . . . We sought to demonstrate the associations between increased baseline NT‐proBNP (N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide) and adverse renal outcomes in patients with moderate‐to‐severe acute kidney injury
The Prognostic Value of Pre-Operative and Post-Operative B . . . Studies were considered eligible if they measured B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal fragment of proBNP (NT-proBNP) preoperatively and postoperatively (i e , <8 days after noncardiac surgery) on the same patient Our primary outcome was a composite of mortality or nonfatal MI
Frontiers | The Predictive Value of Pre-operative N-Terminal . . . Early in 2008, Elíasdóttir et al had found that serum NT-proBNP level was higher in patients who developed acute renal failure after cardiac surgery Further studies demonstrated the predictive value of serum NT-proBNP in PO-AKI after cardiac surgery both in adults and children (19, 20, 24)
NT-proBNP in young healthy adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery Results: In 95 patients, NT-proBNP plasma concentrations (median [IQR]) were 8 [5-26] pg mL at baseline, 17 [5-53] pg mL 2-6 h, and 42 [11-86] pg mL 18-30 h after surgery Absolute and relative NT-proBNP increase after surgery was 32 [5-74] pg mL and 196% [61 - 592%] compared to baseline
Preoperative NT-proBNP and LVEF for the prediction of acute . . . Whether preoperative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) levels can predict postoperative AKI in noncardiac surgical patients is unclear
