N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and cardiorenal outcome in patients with anaemia in chronic kidney disease. [PDF]
Abstract Aims Blood levels of N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) may be modified by low renal clearance and anaemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the blood NT‐proBNP level on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with these two manifestations.
