Plasma B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Level and Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Kidney Disease in a Community-Based Population

Background: Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are confounded by renal dysfunction, so this study examined whether plasma BNP might be a reliable biomarker of the onset of cardiovascular (CV) events in a population-based cohort with impaired renal function. Methods and Results: Baseline...
