Analytical correlation between plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide in patients presenting with dyspnea.
Clinical Biochemistry 2004 October
OBJECTIVES: We examined the analytical correlation N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP).
DESIGN AND METHODS: Electrochemiluminescence and fluorescence immunoassays were used to measure NT-proBNP and BNP levels, respectively.
RESULTS: The analytical correlation was satisfactory using the equation: NT-proBNP = 8.56 x BNP + 91.7 and a correlation r = 0.85. The correlation was not influenced by age, gender and BMI of patients.
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that NT-proBNP correlates with BNP.
