NT-Pro BNP Test in Pune

What is NT-Pro BNP Test

The NT-Pro BNP test is a blood test that measures the levels of a hormone called NT-proBNP in the blood. This hormone is released by the heart in response to increased pressure and strain, which can occur in conditions such as heart failure. The test is performed by taking a blood sample from a vein in the arm and analyzing it in a laboratory. The results of the test can help diagnose and monitor heart failure.
