The levels of BNP and sST2 at admission and at discharge according to the degree of renal function The level of BNP at admission showed a trend toward high concentration in patients with severe renal insufficiency compared to mild or moderate renal insufficiency, which did not achieve statistical difference ( Fig. 1A , 2,341.9±1,664.8 pg/mL vs. 1,645.6±1,479.5 pg/mL vs. 1,416.4±898.8 pg/mL, P =0.102 for severe vs. moderate vs. mild renal insufficiency).
