Abstract
BACKGROUND: Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is an essential cardiac biomarker for diagnosing heart failure and for prognoses in patients with various cardiac diseases. However, measurement requires immunological assays that are not available in every hospital. Recently, a novel BNP kit (Nanopia BNP-A, Sekisui Inc.; BNPn) that uses general-purpose, automated, biochemical analyzers has become commercially available. We assessed how its accuracy and utility compare with those of conventional immunological tests. METHODS ANDEntities:

Fig 1Correlation of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations by conventional and novel methods.
The X-axis denotes BNP concentration by the conventional method (BNPc), while the Y-axis denotes BNP concentration by the novel method (BNPn). The regression line is shown in red. Both axes are log-transformed. Tick marks on the Y axis corresponded to those on the X axis, according to the regression formula. For example, the green dotted line indicates that BNPn = 253ng/L corresponds to BNPc = 200ng/L, and the purple dotted line indicates that BNPn = 129ng/L corresponds to BNPc = 100ng/L.
