Abstract
in English, German

Natriuretic peptides must be interpreted in their clinical context, especially in intensive care medicine. This overview presents the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic significance of B‑type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N‑terminal pro B‑type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with cardiac dysfunction, kidney failure, sepsis, pulmonary embolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), and weaning from a respirator.

Natriuretische Peptide müssen gerade in der Intensivmedizin in ihrem klinischen Kontext interpretiert werden. In dieser Übersicht wird die diagnostische, prognostische und therapeutische Bedeutung von BNP und NT-proBNP bei Patienten mit kardialer Dysfunktion, Nierenversagen, Sepsis, Lungenembolie, ARDS, AECOPD und im Weaning vom Respirator dargestellt.

Keywords: BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide); Cardiac function; Differential diagnosis; Fluid management; Laboratory diagnostics; NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro B‑type natriuretic peptide).
