Prognostic value of plasma NT-proBNP levels in very old patients with moderate renal insufficiency in China

Abstract: Background The N‑terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has an important prognostic value in chronic renal insufficiency; however, most studies have been conducted in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In this study we evaluated the prognostic significance of NT-proBNP in very old patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and compared its prognostic value in CKD3a versus CKD3b patients. Methods Patients (age ≥80 years old) hospitalized wi… Show more

“…Most of the features identified in this study were consistent with those of the previous studies [ 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 47 - 51 ]. It has been reported that the main imaging methods for the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis were CT, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound [ 5 ].…”

“…It has been reported that the main imaging methods for the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis were CT, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound [ 5 ]. Both albumin-to-creatinine ratio and NT-proBNP were important indicators of renal function [ 47 , 51 ], which are also of great significance for RVH prediction in our model. Aldosterone-to-renin ratio was a screening tool for PA [ 2 , 48 ].…”

“…Meantime, the increase of NT-proBNP was not only in HF, but also in many other cardiovascular diseases (18,19). The plasma level of NT-proBNP also could change with the patient's age, which might be related to the changes of cardiac microstructure (20). So, it is very important to find biomarkers for diagnosis of HF.…”
