Half life period is about 20 minutes, unstable
lBNP in the blood mainly binds to the natriuretic peptide clearance receptor, and the metabolic pathway is not affected by the kidneys#BNP
lCompared with other natriuretic peptides and their precursors, it is a more sensitive and specific indicator for evaluating ventricular overload, and can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF).#B-type Natriuretic Protein (BNP) Kit
lBNP measurement can be used for heart failure diagnosis, risk classification, efficacy monitoring and prognosis assessment
lBNP levels increased significantly in patients with heart failure regardless of whether they had symptoms of heart failure, and the magnitude was proportional to the severity of heart failure
lCan be used as an independent risk factor for risk stratification of patients with congestive heart failure and acute coronary syndrome
l For patients with acute dyspnea, BNP can be used to differentiate between dyspnea caused by heart failure and dyspnea caused by other causes#Cardiac Marker POCT
European Society of Cardiology includes BNP testing in guidelines for diagnosing or ruling out heart failure
Tips:
100-300pg/ml：Patient with HF
>300pg/ml: Mild HF
>600pg/ml: Moderate HF
>900 pg/ml: Severe HF
