BackgroundB-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) are useful biomarkers in the management of heart failure. Both peptides are secreted into the circulation after cleavage of their precursor proBNP and excreted from the kidney in the active form or as metabolites. We investigated effects of kidney function on the levels and association of these peptides.Materials and methodsPlasma concentrations of BNP and serum concentrations of NT-proBNP were measured in 229 outpatients of our cardiology department (male/female=138/91, mean age=68years) and 53 hospital outpatients on chronic haemodialysis (30/23, 68years). Kidney function in nondialysed patients was assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; mL/min/173m(2)) and categorised across five stages. Effects of kidney function on BNP, NT-proBNP and their relationship were investigated.ResultsDeterioration in kidney function increased BNP and NT-proBNP levels, as well as the NT-proBNP/BNP ratio, and these values were highest in patients on haemodialysis. The eGFR inversely correlated with BNP (r=-0472), NT-proBNP (r=-0579), and the NT-proBNP/BNP ratio (r=-0454, all P
