Implication

NT-pro-BNP may mark LV hypertrophy and dysfunction in peritoneal dialysis; leaves open its value for volume status assessment.

Structured PICO

Is serum NT-pro-BNP concentration associated with left ventricular dysfunction and extracellular water in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients?

Population

30 stable continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients (14 males, 16 females; mean age 52 +/- 14 years; mean CAPD duration 34 +/- 12 months; 12 with diabetes mellitus and 18 non-DM).

Outcome

Association between serum NT-pro-BNP levels and extracellular water (ECW%) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (LVMI and LV ejection fraction)surrogate

In CAPD patients, serum NT-pro-BNP is a useful marker for evaluating left ventricular hypertrophy and dysfunction, but not for assessing pure hydration status.
