what is normal BNP?Mine was 579 what does that mean?
BNP is a marker for heart failure.the normal level is age-related.
i don't know how old are you? do you feel Shortness of breath，edema in the lower limb? do you have other heart disease or hypertension?
suggestion: have a Cardiac ultrasound
Hi, normal BNP is below 100 pg/mL, a higher BNP value indicates heart failure, but this needs a cardiologist to evaluate with a combination of all your test results.
My BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) is 9, is that a good number?
84 yr old female hospitalized with vomiting and bowel obstruction due to adhesions.  BNP drawn and was 4000.  Repeat was 2000 one week later.  No signs of heart failure and no treatment.  How accurate is BNP??
BNP level is related to age. Since you don't have signs of heart failure you don't need to worry. But do have tests periodically.
