B-Natriuretic Peptide (BNP)
What's Included?
There is no special preparation.
A brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) test measures the amount of the BNP hormone in your blood.
BNP is made by your heart and tells how well your heart is working. Normally, only a low amount of BNP is found in your blood. However, if your heart has to work harder over a long period of time, such as from heart failure, the heart releases more BNP and the blood level of BNP will get higher.
The BNP level will drop when treatment for heart failure is working.
The brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) test is used to:
- Check for heart failure.
- Find out how severe heart failure is.
- Check the response of treatment for heart failure.
