Abstract
Values of BNP are elevated in patients with end-stage renal disease and decline after each dialysis session. Over the course of a week, BNP levels gradually declined irrespective of changes in weight or blood pressure. The lack of correlation between changes in BNP and changes in measured clinical parameters is partly explained by a lack of a significant change in plasma volume. The highest BNP values were seen in patients with systolic dysfunction.
