Abstract
The identification of exacerbation etiology by means of MR-proANP is not clinically reliable. Levels of MR-proANP vary depending on the clinical status, being higher during pneumonia in comparison to the stable state. MR-proANP levels were higher in patients that died within one month after the exacerbation episode.
