Relationship between Cardiofemoral Index and the plasma concentration of brain natriuretic peptide in anemic fetuses associated with Rh alloimmunization

Abstract: These results suggest that fetal plasma concentration of BNP may increase in fetuses with heart dilation leading to a positive association between Cardiofemoral Index and plasma concentration of BNP.

“…[24][25][26] Another BNP assay method is the radioimmunoassay technique. 27,28 The method has been used to detect BNP level from blood sample of chronic HF patient which involved the use of gamma-radioactive isotopes of BNP in conjunction with anti-BNP antibody. While extremely sensitive and specific, this technique requires a sophisticated apparatus and is costly.…”
