Reference values for N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in umbilical cord blood.
Plasma concentrations of B-type na-triuretic peptide (BNP), a 32-amino acid peptide hormone secreted by the myocardium, increase in response to myocardial stretch or strain (1, 2). On secretion, proBNP, the storage form of BNP, is cleaved into the inactive N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) and the endocrinologi-cally active BNP. In patients with heart failure, plasma BNP concentrations are related ...
متن کاملUmbilical cord blood transplantation
Since the first umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) in 1998, cord blood (CB) has now become one of the most commonly used sources of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. CBT has advantages of easy procurement, no risk to donor, low risk of transmitting infections, immediate availability and immune tolerance allowing successful transplantation despite human leukocyte antigen disp...
متن کاملUmbilical cord blood transplantation.
Umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) has been widely used as an alternative source of hematopoietic cell support for stem cell transplant patients. CBT offers several advantages over traditional stem cell sources, such as immediate availability, absence of risk for donors, lower risk of acute graft-versus-host disease, and a less stringent requirement for human leukocyte antigen matching....
متن کاملUmbilical cord blood transplantation.
Interest in umbilical cord blood as an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells is growing rapidly.
