BNP immunoassays warrant cautious interpretation due to inactive peptide detection; leaves open standardization needs for clinical use.
Due to large systematic differences and proBNP cross-reactivity among BNP immunoassays, using identical decision values across different methods is unreasonable.
Clerico et al. (2014) conducted a review in Heart failure. BNP immunoassay methods was evaluated on Systematic differences in values. BNP immunoassay methods show large systematic differences in values of up to 50%, indicating that identical decision values across different methods are unreasonable.
