What is Brain Natriuretic Peptide N-terminal pro b (BNP, NT-PRO BNP) Test?

Natriuretic peptides are heart-produced substances. These substances are classified into two types: brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-PRO BNP). Normally, only trace amounts of BNP and NT-PRO BNP are found in the blood. High levels may indicate that your heart is not pumping as much blood as your body requires. Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, occurs when this occurs.

Other Names:

B-type natriuretic peptide

Why it is done?

The primary goal of BNP or NT-PRO BNP testing is to determine whether the blood levels of these proteins are within the normal range for a healthy person. These tests are most commonly used for diagnosis, but they may also be used in other types of health assessments.

If you have symptoms of heart failure, your doctor may order a BNP or NT-PRO BNP test. If you have been diagnosed with heart failure, your doctor may order a test to learn more about your condition.

• Breathing difficulties or shortness of breath
