ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of N‐terminal Pro‐Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT‐proBNP) in Kawasaki disease (KD) in children .Methods Ninety one children with KD were collected and 80 patients with acute upper respiratory infec‐tion were used as controls .Plasma NT‐pro BNP concentrations and other laboratory date were collected in the acute of KD .The re‐lationships between NT‐pro BNP values and different clinical and laboratory data in the acute phase were sought .Results The mean plasma NT‐pro BNP concentration in patients with KD in the acute phase was (1 042 .38 ± 528 .7)pg/mL ,significantly higher than those of control group(458 .6 ± 412 .3)pg/mL (P<0 .05) .The results of linear correlation analysis indicated that plasma NT‐pro BNP was positively correlated with CRP (r= 0 .442 ,P< 0 .05) ,and negatively correlated with Hematocrit ,Albumin and Na (r= -0 .216 ,r= -0 .204 ,r= -0 .315 ,respectively ;P<0 .05) .According to ROC analysis ,the AUC of NT‐pro BNP for detection of KD were 0 .881 ,sensitivity and specificity was 70 .1% and 84 .0% respectively for the cut‐off value of 530 pg/mL .Conclusion Our findings showed that NT‐proBNP would elevate in the acute stage of KD and was a reliable marker for the diagnosis of KD .A high level of NT‐pro BNP is associated with systemic inflammatory responses and increased vascular permeability .
