N-Terminal Prohormone of Brain Natriuretic Peptide but not C-Terminal Pre-Pro Vasopressin (Copeptin) Level is Associated with the Response to Antihypertensive Therapy in Haemodialysis Patients

Conclusions: 1. Increased levels of NT-proBNP seems to be a better biomarker of multidrug antihypertensive therapy requirement than CT-proAVP. 2. Whether estimation of NT-proBNP in these patients will be also better biomarker than copeptin in the prediction of cardiovascular complications related to hypertension needs further investigations.Kidney Blood Press Res 2017;42:1013 –1022
