Comparison of Pleural Fluid N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Brain Natriuretic-32 Peptide Levels

BACKGROUND: Current evidence indicates that measurement of pleural fluid N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels can aid in distinguishing pleural effusions of cardiac origin from those of noncardiac origin. To date, only one study, to our knowledge, has described simultaneous me...
