Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between Serum BNP and heart failure in patients un-dergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis ( MPD) .Methods 80 uremia patients who underwent MPD and 40 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study.In the morning of treatment, we assessed their cardiac function according to in-terrogation, physical examination, chest X-ray and echocardiography while detecting BNP, Scr, BUN levels in the fasting venous serum of upper extremity.Results 80 MPD patients were divided into 2 groups:a heart failure group (Group A, n=42) and a normal cardiac function group (Group B, n=38).40 healthy volunteers served as a con-trol group ( Group C ) .There were no significant differences in age, weight and sex ratio among 3 groups ( P>0.05).The time period of maintenance peritoneal dialysis in Group A and B was similar (P>0.05).Compared with Group C, the levels of Serum BNP, Scr and BUN were significantly higher in Group A and B( P<0.05) .There were no significant differences of Scr and BUN between Groups A and B ( P>0.05) .The level of Serum BNP was signifi-cantly higher in Group A than that in Group B (P<0.05).Conclusion The level of Serum BNP may be closely re-lated to the cardiac function and it may be used as a predictor for heart failure in MPD patients.
