Test Overview
What Is an NT-Pro BNP Test in Hyderabad?
An NT-Pro BNP test in Hyderabad is a blood test that measures the amount of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-Pro BNP) in your blood. This hormone is released by your heart when it is under stress or strain, helping doctors detect heart failure early.
If you experience shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling, this test helps determine whether these symptoms are caused by heart failure or another condition. A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm for the test.

The NT-Pro BNP test measures levels of a cardiac hormone that reflects how well your heart is functioning. It helps your doctor:
- Detect heart failure and assess its severity
- Evaluate cardiac stress due to high blood pressure or valve disease
- Monitor your response to heart failure treatment
