Why the study?
Are elevated plasma concentrations of ANP and BNP associated with cerebral salt wasting in a pediatric stroke patient?
Are elevated plasma concentrations of ANP and BNP associated with cerebral salt wasting in a pediatric stroke patient?
Cerebral salt wasting in a pediatric stroke patient was associated with elevated plasma concentrations of ANP and BNP, suggesting a potential pathogenic role for natriuretic peptides in this syndrome.
Elevated ANP/BNP associated with cerebral salt wasting in one pediatric stroke case; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
