I was diagnosed with end stage
renal
failure
at the age of 16 and had undergone dialysis continuously for 7 to 8 months. Fortunately My Father was my kidney donor and got my transplant on 2012, 10 yrs ago. I was at the age of 16 during that time.

Does anyone understand BNP levels mine is 2963ng/L I think normal is between 0.0. 150. I think it indicates heart failure but not sure. Before I can have echocardiogram privately I need referral from GP who would you believe it is off sick!!

NT-proBNP Level query
Trying to line up a few questions for a Cardio call in December and cannot seem to find this bit out. My last Se N-term pro BNP conc result was 444 ng/L, is this the same as pg/mL? It came back as abnormal with normal given as 0-400, I`m 66, so could I have Heart failure as no one has said I have.
