A member asked:

Could use your help docs! my b-type natriuretic - peptide is up over 4, 000 how serious is that ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BNP: The reason for the elevation of the bnp needs to be clarified. You need to discuss this with your doctor and work with your doctor to find out the meaning of the test abnormality.
