COMPARISON OF VALUE OF RED CELL DISTRIBUTION WIDTH AND NT-PRO BNP IN HEART FAILURE / Шинэ санаа Шинэ нээлт

ABSTRACT

@#BACKGROUND. Previous retrospective study from our team showed that RDW significantly increased in chronic heart failure (CHF). OBJECTIVE. The aim of the study was to compare the value of RDW-CV with NT-pro BNP and evaluate sensitivity and specificity of RDW for diagnose of heart failure. MATEREALS AND METHOD. Here, we analyzed 20 patients who were suffering from heart failure and were treated in the department of Cardiology, First Clinical Hospital between in June 2017. All patients in the study group were underwent a complete blood count, immunoassay for NT-proBNP. The ejection fraction was analyzed by ECHO cardiograpy. RESULTS. 85.0% of patients were male and remained was female. RBC and RDW was significantly differentially measured in between CHF groups (р= 0.028 p=0.0001). In control groups without heart failure NT-proBNP was estimated up to 100 pg/ml, whereas it was definitelly increased in patient with CHF (р=0.0001). There was strong correlation between RDW and NT-proBNP (r =0.846, p=0.0001). sensitivity and specificity of RDW was 89%, and 74.3 % respectively in CHF. CONCLUSION. According to the our results there was direct correlation between RDW-CV and heart failure (p=0.035). RDW-CV migh be cost effective and routine laboratoty marker to evaulate CHF.
