<p><strong>Use:</strong><br>
Support a diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF). B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), also referred to as brain natriuretic peptide, is a member of a family of structurally similar peptide hormones that includes atrial natriuretic peptide.1 BNP is a 32-amino-acid peptide that contains a 17-amino-acid ring structure that is formed as the result of an internal disulfide bond.</p>
<p>BNP is predominantly secreted by the ventricles of the heart in response to increased pressure. BNP acts as a vasodilator and has diuretic and natriuretic properties. BNP suppresses both sympathetic tone and the renin-angiotensin system. These physiologic effects serve to reduce intraventricular pressure and improve the symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF).</p>
<p><strong>Recommended For:</strong><br>
Confirming diagnosis of congestive heart failure.</p>

The Prothrombin Time (a.k.a. Protime) test helps diagnose unidentified bleeding. When coupled with the International Normalized Ratio (INR), it is used to monitor the anticoagulant (ex. heparin, warfarin, Coumadin) and its effectiveness in reducing the formation of blood clots.</p>
<p><strong>Recommended For:</strong><br>
Those who are currently taking blood-thinning medications (i.e. Coumadin) and for those who suspect they have a bleeding disorder.</p>
<p><strong>Special Notes:</strong><br>
If you are currently undergoing anticoagulant therapy, it is recommended you get your blood drawn prior to taking your daily medication. Otherwise, no special preparation is needed.</p>
