Mid‐regional pro‐atrial natriuretic peptide and the assessment of volaemic status and differential diagnosis of profound hyponatraemia
Background Hyponatraemia is common and its differential diagnosis and consequent therapy management is challenging. The differential diagnosis is mainly based on the routine clinical assessment of volume status, which is often misleading. Mid‐regional pro‐atrial natriuretic peptide (MR‐proANP) is as...

Zusammenfassung: | Background
Hyponatraemia is common and its differential diagnosis and consequent therapy management is challenging. The differential diagnosis is mainly based on the routine clinical assessment of volume status, which is often misleading. Mid‐regional pro‐atrial natriuretic peptide (MR‐proANP) is associated with extracellular and cardiac fluid volume.
