NT-proBNP predicts cardiorenal complications in Chinese patients with T2D
Elevated N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels independently predict cardiorenal complications in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and can be utilized as a clinical prognostic biomarker for risk stratification to enable more intensive organ-protective treatment in those at risk, a study involving 1,993 patients enrolled in the Hong Kong Diabetes Biobank has shown.
