NT-proBNP Changes in Patients with Ascites during Large Volume Paracentesis
Figure 1
Mean changes in NT-proBNP levels during key LVP time points in each group. Mean NT-proBNP change at 2 L prealbumin −77.3 pg/mL in cirrhotics versus +10.47 pg/mL in cancer patients () and −94.3 pg/mL versus +77.2 pg/mL at the end of drainage (). 95% confidence interval −173.7–−1.7 and −323.1–−19.7 in cirrhotics for both time points, respectively.
