Transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) can be difficult to diagnose and distinguish from transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), but is a relatively common complication that occurs when increases in blood volume overwhelm the cardiovascular system. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been shown to be a functional marker for TACO. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is another marker that could be more helpful than BNP since it has a longer half-life in circulation and is also much more stable in laboratory samples. In this study, whether NT-proBNP is a useful diagnostic marker for TACO was evaluated.
