Abstract
⺠NT-proCNP circulates at higher concentrations than CNP, allowing a direct assay. ⺠Plasma NT-proCNP was higher in CHF, diabetes and cirrhosis with respect to controls. ⺠In CHF the NT-proCNP concentration showed a significant increase as a function of clinical severity. ⺠CNP assay resulted better associated with disease than NT-proCNP assay in all the different clinical conditions. ⺠NT-proCNP determination could become widespread in clinical biochemistry laboratories.
