Overview of the NT-proBNP Test in Netaji Nagar, Kolkata

The brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are the two main types of natriuretic peptides, which are substances produced by the heart. NT-proBNP is a non-active pheromone, while BNP is a hormone. However, both substances are released by the same molecule and normally, can be found in small amounts in the blood. The heart releases both BNP and NT-proBNP into the bloodstream in response to changes in pressure inside the heart that are generally caused by cardiac problems. If levels of the substance are higher than the normal range of NT-proBNP, they may indicate conditions like heart failure, where the NT-proBNP levels go up as the condition develops or gets worse and go down as the condition stabilises.

The NT-proBNP blood test is a natriuretic peptide test that measures the level of the N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide pheromone in the blood.

When is the NT-pro-BNP Test Prescribed?

For someone who has already been diagnosed with heart failure, the NT-proBNP Test in Netaji Nagar, Kolkata is used as a means of assessing how severe the condition is, for planning treatment, and for monitoring the efficacy of a treatment plan. However, the primary use of an NT-proBNP Test in Netaji Nagar, Kolkata is to diagnose or rule out cardiac problems like heart failure.
