NT-proANP elevation associates with preeclampsia; leaves open its predictive value for severe disease or SGA pending validation.
Are plasma concentrations of N-terminal peptide of proatrial natriuretic peptide elevated in women with preeclampsia and gestational hypertension compared to healthy pregnancies?
Elevated levels of NT-proANP are associated with preeclampsia and may predict the development of severe preeclampsia or small for gestational age infants.
