Urinary Amino-Terminal Pro–C-Type Natriuretic Peptide: A Novel Marker of Chronic Kidney Disease in Diabetes

Clinical Chemistry Podcast

A paper appearing in the October 2019 issue of Clinical Chemistry found that fragments of proCNP could be measured in urine from subjects with diabetes mellitus. The urinary NT-proCNP to creatinine ratio was also more reproduceable than the now commonly used albumin to creatinine ratio and strongly associated with the presence of chronic kidney disease.
