Abstract:
BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) and NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) are peptide hormones secreted by the heart.Recently, many researches have described that BNP and NT-proBNP were useful markers for the diagnosis of heart failure.We should develop these assays correctly on the basis of full understanding of biological characteristics and guide clinical use for them in medical laboratories.
