Increased B-type natriuretic peptide and decreased proteinuria might reflect decreased capillary leakage and is associated with a better outcome in patients with severe burns

de Leeuw, Karina; Nieuwenhuis, Marianne K (Functional Recovery And Quality Of Life After Burns); Niemeijer, Anuschka S; Eshuis, Hans; Beerthuizen, Gerard I J M; Janssen, Wilbert M

INTRODUCTION: It is difficult to adjust fluid balance adequately in patients with severe burns due to various physical changes. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is emerging as a potential marker of hydration state. Proteinuria is used as a predictor of outcome in severe illness and might correlate to …
