pubmed:abstractText |
Natriuretic peptides are important in the maintenance of body volume homeostasis. There has been interest in utilizing the levels of these peptides to diagnose and prognosticate cardiovascular disease. In end-stage renal disease, the diagnostic utility of these peptides is limited. Madsen et al. report that levels of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels offer important information on the risk of mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
