OP-139 The Role of Biochemical Markers in Predicting Worsening Heart Failure: Comparison of Biomarkers




Aim


Heart failure is the end stage of many cardiac disorders. Worsening heart failure causes high mortality in these patients. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate the biochemical predictors of worsening heart failure.




Materials-Methods


One hundred one patients with heart failure were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups according to their functional status. N-terminal pro-brain nadriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP), troponin T, serum and urine creatinine, blood urine nitrogen (BUN), cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocallin (NGAL), C – reactive protein, hepatic transaminases and thyroid stimulating hormone levels were measured.
