BNP measures the markers listed in its panel and reports each value with a reference range. Read on for what the test checks and how to prepare.

What the BNP Screens For and Why

The BNP screens for values in the markers it measures rather than confirming a specific diagnosis on its own. Screening with the BNP can highlight results outside the expected range so they can be reviewed further. This heart failure blood test measures levels of B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP). The BNP is designed to look at the markers in its panel, and the report shows how each one compares to the reference range.

Who Should Consider the BNP

Discussing the BNP with a healthcare provider helps put any result in context. The BNP may be considered by anyone who wants to check the markers it covers as part of a routine review. People with a family history or symptoms related to the markers in the BNP often discuss the test with a provider. The BNP can serve as a baseline for tracking the same markers over time.

How the BNP Is Performed: Specimen and Draw

The BNP is performed with a standard blood draw collected at a collection site. A trained professional collects blood sample into a labeled container, and the collection usually takes only a few minutes. Follow the lab's instructions. The sample is then sent to a licensed laboratory, where the BNP is analyzed.
