The impact of changes in N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide on the outcome of acute kidney injury in patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective study

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Doctors looked back at hospital records of people who had a major heart attack and were treated with a stent. They checked whether changes in NT-proBNP, a blood marker of strain on the heart, lined up with sudden kidney injury afterward. Looking backward at records can show a link, not prove the marker predicts or causes kidney harm on its own. The record we received carried no abstract, so the number of patients is not available here.
