Investigation of factors related to N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide levels in hemodialysis patients; a single center study

Abstract: Introduction: Introduction: N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) can be used to diagnose cardiac and renal disease. The association of NT-pro BNP with demographic, clinical and biochemical factors in hemodialysis is unclear. Objectives: This study aimed to examine association of NT-pro BNP and mentioned factors in hemodialysis patients. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on 78 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients under hemodialysis. Demographic data, lipid profile and … Show more

“…Approximately 30% of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have diabetic nephropathy and with the growing number of DM patients and aging population, there can be a parallel increase in the incidence of CKD [3]. Several studies show that patients with CKD also have a higher prevalence of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, ischemic heart disease (IHD), cardiac arrhythmias and valvular calcification, leading to heart failure (HF) with a preserved LV ejection fraction (HFpEF), than in the general population [4][5][6][7]. This risk increases up to 10 to 100 fold when a patient begins dialysis [8].…”
