Background: The causes of elevated B-Type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are multifactorial. Renal dysfunction has been shown to affect BNP levels in some studies and the diagnostic value of BNP levels in the presence of chronic kidney disease has been questioned. Prior studies have involved small patient populations with variable outcomes noted. This study evaluated the association of BNP levels with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and presence or absence of congestive heart failure (CHF).Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study in which medical records were electronically screened, identified patients with a BNP level and serum creatinine measurement on the same day between December 2002 and March 2006.Results: Of 1739 eligible patients, 537 were positive for CHF and 1202 were negative for CHF by our criteria. There was a clear trend for BNP to be higher with the advancement of CHF, as determined by New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification (P < 0.001). Median BNP levels increased from 65 pg/mL in patients without CHF to 496 pg/mL in patients with NYHA class IV CHF (P
