Utility of Cardiac Biomarkers (N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and Hs-Troponin-T) in Predicting Mortality, Cardiovascular, and Renal Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cardiac biomarkers, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-T (Hs-cTnT) are good prognostic indicators of long-term clinical cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the clinical utility of combined biomarkers in predicting death and cardio-renal outcomes in patients with CKD remains unclear. This study examined the prognostic accuracy and incremental value of NT-proBNP and Hs-cTnT for all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD) patients.

Methods

Data from 1,946 individuals with NDD-CKD prospectively included in the Salford Kidney Study were used to investiga
