N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide as a Biomarker for Loss of Muscle Mass in Prevalent Hemodialysis Patients

Abstract: Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is common in hemodialysis (HD) patients. A recent study demonstrated that a high level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may be associated with PEW in those patients. This prospective study aimed to assess the association of NT-proBNP with body composition and muscle loss. A cohort of prevalent HD patients (n = 238) was examined. Blood samples were obtained at baseline to measure high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), adiponectin and… Show more

“…19 Multiple regression analysis adjusted with confounders revealed that NT-proBNP was an independent predictor of decrease in LBM and serial lower levels of CI. 19 CI can be calculated conveniently using a simple equation in HD patients based on routine clinical variables. Clinicians can calculate serial CIs using the simple equation in each HD patient, and the changes in CI over time can be used in nutritional and prognostic monitoring following dialysis.…”

“…Values of CI were 21.0 ± 2.2 in higher NT‐proBNP and 23.1 ± 2.9 in lower NT‐proBNP (P < 0.0001). The CI in the higher NT‐proBNP decreased serially and continuously for 12 months compared with lower NT‐proBNP . In our study, a CI cutoff of 22 distinguished normal but not severe and moderate malnutrition groups.…”

“…The relation between markers of FO and malnutrition has also been described in the literature [23, 45, 46]. However, sometimes the interpretation may be hampered by the fact that the ECW:total body water was used as a marker of FO [46], whereas this is likely a combined risk marker expressing either FO, malnutrition, or both [22].…”
