Test Details
The NT-pro BNP test, also known as the N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide test, is a blood test used to measure the levels of a hormone called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the blood. BNP is released by the heart in response to increased pressure or strain, such as in heart failure.
The NT-pro BNP test is primarily used to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of heart failure. It can help determine the severity of heart failure, guide treatment decisions, and assess the response to therapy. High levels of NT-pro BNP in the blood indicate the presence of heart failure, while lower levels may indicate normal heart function.
The test is usually ordered if a person presents with symptoms of heart failure, such as shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs, or difficulty exercising. It may also be ordered periodically to monitor the progression of heart failure or to assess the effectiveness of treatment.
The NT-pro BNP test is a simple blood test that requires a blood sample to be drawn from a vein. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days.
It is important to note that the NT-pro BNP test is not specific to heart failure and can be elevated in other conditions, such as kidney disease, lung disease, or acute coronary syndrome. Therefore, it is often used in combination with other tests and clinical evaluations to make a definitive diagnosis.
