NT-PROCNP AS A BIOMARKER OF VASCULAR DISORDERS AND PREGNANCY COMPLICATION

摘要

The present disclosure relates to methods for the prognosis and/or diagnosis of vascular related disorders in a subject and in particular pregnancy related vascular disorders. The present disclosure is based on the finding that a positive correlation exists between positive prediction of a vascular disorder event in a subject and the concentration of the circulating marker NTproCNP (also referred to as NT CNP) in humans and animals. In addition, the present disclosure is based on the finding that there is also a positive correlation between the occurrence of a vascular related adverse event during pregnancy and the concentration of the circulating marker NTproCNP in the maternal circulation.
