Background/Aims: Natriuretic peptides have been reported to be a valuable biomarker for predicting cardiac events and mortality for haemodialysis patients. However, there has been a debate as to whether these biomarkers can be used to assess volume overload and help determine dry weight. Methods: We measured the N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) in 366 stable haemodialysis outpatients with a corresponding pre-and post-dialysis multifrequency bioimpedance assessment of extracellular water (ECW)/total body …
