Nesiritide Does Not Improve Renal Function in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure and Worsening Serum Creatinine

Abstract: Background-Nesiritide (synthetic human brain natriuretic peptide) is approved for the treatment of symptomatic heart failure. However, studies of brain natriuretic peptide in patients with heart failure have come to conflicting conclusions about effects on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), effective renal plasma flow, natriuresis, and diuresis. Methods and Results-To identify a population at high risk of renal dysfunction with conventional treatment, we selected patients with a creatinine level increased from … Show more

“…Third, the effects of carperitide on renal function, which is of concern when using nesiritide (hBNP), were not assessed in the present study because renal function parameters were not measured over time after the start of treatment. 19,20 Further studies of carperitide as a first-line drug are warranted to investigate its effects on renal function.…”

“…With regard to the kidney, we previously reported, as have others, that the glomerular, natriuretic, and urinary cGMP excretory responses to both atrial natriuretic peptide and brain NP (BNP) are attenuated in overt experimental and human CHF (6,7). In addition, Nesiritide, the recombinant human BNP (Scios, Inc., Fremont, CA) that is approved for the management of acute decompensated CHF, in some clinical studies failed to demonstrate a renal-enhancing property (8,9). The exact mechanisms that mediate the attenuated response to NP in overt CHF remain poorly defined and most likely are multifactorial.…”

“…While nesiritide has been shown to produce a modest improvement in dyspnoea, it does not favourably affect clinical outcomes, decongestion or renal function [33][34][35] and safety concerns have been raised. 36,37 Blockade of NP breakdown by neprilysin inhibitors has, therefore, been investigated.…”
