Alibay et al reported an equation for converting a value for BNP to NT-proBNP. The authors are from Hopital Ambroise Pare in France.
Parameters:
(1) serum NT-proBNP in pg/mL
(2) serum BNP in pg/mL
LOG10(NT-proBNP) =
= (1.1 * LOG10(BNP)) + 0.57
If this is rearranged:
LOG10(BNP) =
= (0.909 * LOG10(NTproBNP)) - 0.518
