Plasma Clearance of B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) before and after Bariatric Surgery for Morbid Obesity
Abstract
Obese patients have lower plasma concentrations of the cardiac natriuretic peptides (NPs) than their age- and sex-matched counterparts. This may reflect lower production and/or increased peptide clearance. It is unclear whether NP bioactivity is affected by obesity.
