BNP high level

[Sarah_402]

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone had a high BNP level?

I’m so concerned and my dr has not called me back. So Im just anxious, waiting, and wondering if it can go down?

Hi Sarah, I've never seen it being measured in the context of CKD, was there something specific that prompt the blood test? Hopefully its nothing to be concerned about.

Well my CKD was caused from low blood pressure (AKI) and I’m on medications to increase my blood pressure, perhaps this caused an issue with the heart. But I don’t know. I wondered if maybe CKD patients are at risk for congestive heart failure. Thanks for your reply

Thank you for your reply

Yes I’m waiting for my doctor to explain but he also ordered more tests. Waiting makes me so anxious:/
