ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level with serum albumin, serum total bilirubin and thrombin time in patients with liver cirrhosis.Methods RandomLy selected from January 2014 to June 2016 to our hospital diagnosis and hospitalization of 200 cases of cirrhosis patients, according to the standard of Child-Pugh classification provided by Chinese Medical Hepatology Division in 2006, 48 cases were Child A group, 96 cases were Child B group and 56 cases were Child C group.The plasma BNP, serum albumin, serum total bilirubin, prothrombin time and QTc interval of electrocardiogram were analyzed in the clinical data of each group of patients and the correlation between plasma BNP and their correlation.Results The levels of plasma BNP in Child A, B and C groups were higher than those in B group and B group.The correlation between plasma BNP and Child's grade showed a positive correlation, and the results of each group were statistically different (P<0.05).The plasma BNP level was negatively correlated with ALB ( P<0.05 ) .The level of plasma BNP was positively correlated with ALB ( P <0.05 ) .The correlation between plasma BNP and PTIL was correlated with TBIL.The correlation between plasma BNP and TBIL was significantly correlated with TBIL ( P <0.05), The higher the plasma BNP, the regression analysis showed that plasma BNP and TBIL were positively correlated, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The correlation between plasma BNP level and QTc was analyzed.The QTc interval of plasma BNP level was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01 ) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P <0.01 ) .Conclusion The plasma BNP level in patients with liver function is closely related to ALB, TBIL, PT, QTc interval, and has the value of evaluating and predicting liver function.
