Mek wi lan bɔt di BNP tɛst? Di stori bɔt yu at (B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Test) .

Sɔntɛnde, i nɔ kin izi fɔ yu fɔ blo ivin we yu de waka fɔ shɔt tɛm? Ɔ yu leg dɛn kin swel ɛn yu jɔs de fil taya? If yu gɛt sayn dɛn lɛk dis, yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ du blɔd tɛst we dɛn kɔl BNP. Bɔku pipul dɛn kin fred smɔl we dɛn yɛri dis nem, bikɔs dɛn nɔ no bɛtɛ bɛtɛ wan wetin i bi. Bɔt wetin na in rili? Wetin i de notis? Lɛ wi tɔk bɔt ɔl dis simpul wan, di we we yu go ɔndastand.

Wetin na BNP rili?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, BNP na prɔtin we yu at de mek. BNP tinap fɔ B-tayp Natriuretic Peptide. Bɔt sɔm pipul dɛn kin kɔl am bak "Brein" Natriuretic Peptide. Dat na bikɔs sayɛnsman dɛn bin fɔs fɛn dis prɔtin na di bren tisu. Bɔt leta dɛn kam fɔ no se na wi at kin mek am mɔ, mɔ di lɛft ventricle.

Tink bɔt am dis we. Yu at tan lɛk pɔmp we de wok nɔ stɔp. Sɔntɛnde, dis pɔmp kin gɛt fɔ wok tranga wan. Dat min se di at mɔsul kin bigin fɔ kɔntrakt. tεm lεk dis, di at de rilis dis protin we dεn kכl BNP insay di bכdi.

Dɛn BNP ya kin du sɔm wɔndaful tin dɛn:

• dεn de signal di kidni dεm, "sכl εn wata tu bכku sכmtεm de na di bכdi, so pul dεm wit urine."
• I de tɛl di blɔd vesel dɛm bak fɔ "opin smɔl (dilate), we de mek di blɔd flɔ izi wan."

Dɛn tu tin ya kin mek di blɔd prɛshɔn go dɔŋ ɛn di blɔd we di at gɛt fɔ pɔmp kin go dɔŋ. Dis kin mek di at nɔ wok bɛtɛ, we min se i fɔ wok tranga wan. So BNP tan lɛk padi we de ɛp di at.

Bɔt if di BNP lɛvɛl na yu blɔd bɔku pas aw i kin bi , i kin gi yu dɔktɔ impɔtant sayn. Dat min se, "Yu at de ɔnda tumɔs strɛs." Bɔrku tɛm dɛn kin si dis sik pan at pwɛl hat.

sכm lab dεm de du wan sεm kayn tεst we dεn kכ l NT-proBNP . Dɛn tu de gi di sem infɔmeshɔn, bɔt di nɔmal rɛnj dɛn difrɛn.

Wetin mek dɔktɔ go tɛl yu fɔ du dis BNP tɛst?

Bɔku rizin dɛn kin de we mek yu dɔktɔ go tɛl yu fɔ du dis tɛst.

• If yu gɛt sayn dɛm fɔ at pwɛl: If yu gɛt sɔm sayn dɛm lɛk wae yu nɔr de blo fayn, yu de taya ɔltɛm, yu leg ɛn yu ankles de swel, dis tɛst rili impɔtant fɔ no if di tin wae de mek yu gɛt at prɔblɛm ɔr na yu lɔng prɔblɛm.
• If yu dɔn gɛt at sik: If dɛn dɔn ɔlrɛdi no se yu gɛt at sik, dis tɛst kin ɛp fɔ no aw i siriɔs.
• Si if di tritmɛnt dɔn wok fayn:Dɛn kin chɛk dis BNP lɛvɛl bak fɔ si if di mɛrɛsin we dɛn de gi yu dɔn ridyus di prɛshɔn pan yu at ɛn if di tritmɛnt plan de wok.
• If yu de pan denja: If yu gɛt ay risk fɔ gɛt at sik (fɔ ɛgzampul, wit tin dɛn lɛk dayabitis ɔ ay blɔd prɛshɔn), dɛn kin du dis tɛst bak fɔ gɛt aidia bɔt yu at wɛlbɔdi.

Aw dɛn kin du dis blɔd tɛst? Na sɔntin we wi fɔ fred?

Dis na tin we rili simpul. Yu nɔ gɛt ɛni rizin fɔ fred. Dɛn kin du dis jɔs lɛk aw dɛn kin pul blɔd we nɔmal.

Nɔs ɔ dɔktɔ go klin wan vein na yu an, put smɔl nidul insay yu, ɛn tek smɔl blɔd. Yu kin fil smɔl smɔl we yu put di nidul, bɔt i go jɔs las fɔ sɔm sɛkɔn.

Afta dɛn dɔn tek di blɔd, dɛn kin put smɔl plasta ɔ bandej pan di say we dɛn de. Di say kin tan lɛk se i dɔn brus smɔl ɛn blu, bɔt dis go dɔn kpatakpata insay wan ɔ tu dez. Dɔn dɛn go sɛn yu blɔd sɛmpul to lɛbɔraytri fɔ mɛzhɔ yu BNP ɔ NT-proBNP lɛvɛl.

Aw lɔng i kin tek fɔ gɛt di rizɔlt?

Dis na wan pan di big big bɛnifit dɛn we dis tɛst gɛt. Dɛn kin gɛt di rizɔlt kwik kwik wan.

If dɛn admit yu na di Imejɛnsi Dipatmɛnt (ETU) bikɔs ɔf imejensi, lɛk we i nɔ izi fɔ blo, bɔku tɛm yu kin gɛt dis rizɔlt insay lɛk 15 minit . Dis na big ɛp fɔ dɔktɔ dɛn fɔ disayd kwik kwik wan we ɛnitin apin.

Bɔt if yu dɔn ɔlrɛdi gɛt at sik ɛn dɛn de du dis tɛst ɔltɛm, lɛk fɔ wach aw yu tritmɛnt de go bifo, i kin tek wan ɔ tu dez fɔ mek di rizɔlt kam bak.

Aw fɔ intaprit di BNP rizɔlt? Wetin na di ‘Nɔmal’ lɛvɛl?

Dis na kwɛstyɔn we bɔku pipul dɛn gɛt. Lɛ wi luk di avɛrej valyu dɛn fɔ dɛn tu tɛst ya na tebul lɛk dis.

Bɔt mɛmba dis. Dɛn valyu ya na jɔs wan jenɛral gayd. Dɛn ‘nɔmal’ valyu ya kin difrɛn smɔl dipen pan yu ej, ɔda mɛrɛsin, ɛn sɔm tɛm dɛn bɔdi wet (fat pasmak). So, na yu dɔktɔ nɔmɔ go ebul fɔ ɛksplen di rizɔlt dɛn kɔrɛkt wan. Nɔ abop pan di intanɛt fɔ disayd fɔ yusɛf.

Wetin i min if BNP lɛvɛl ay pas ‘Nɔmal’?

di εlevεt BNP lεvεl dεm kin sho se sכm strεn de pan di at. if di BNP valyu pas 100 pg/mL, i kin bi sayn fכ hat fεil.

כltu, di rizin fכ di εlevεt BNP lεvεl nכto כltεm na at fεil. Dis lεvεl kin εlevεt bak bikoz fכ כda hεlth prכblεm dεm. So, nɔ mek big disizhɔn bay dis tɛst nɔmɔ.

Ɔda rizin dɛn we kin mek di BNP lɛvɛl go ɔp na:

• Krכnik Kidni Disease: We di kidni dεm nכ de wok fayn, di BNP lεvεl na di bכdi kin inkrεs biכs di bכdi nכ ebul fכ pul am fayn fayn wan.
• Ɔda at sik dɛm: Apat frɔm we at nɔ de wok fayn, BNP kin go ɔp bak pan ɔda at sik dɛm.
• di lכng prכblεm dεm: di BNP lεvεl kin inkrεs bak bikoz fכ kכndishכn dεm lεk bכdi kכlכt na di lכng (pulmonary embolism) כ hεy blכd prεshכn na di lכng (pulmonary hypertension).

If di rizulyt na ‘Abnormal’, wetin go apin nɛks?

If yu BNP lɛvɛl ay, yu dɔktɔ go tek am se na jɔs wan pat pan di pazl. I go nid fɔ du mɔ tɛst fɔ gɛt di ful pikchɔ.

Fɔ ɛgzampul, yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ du tɛst dɛn lɛk dɛn wan ya:

• Ilɛktrokardiogram (EKG): I de chɛk aw di at de wok wit ilɛktrik.

• Chɛst X-ray: Na ɛkstrem rayt fɔ chɛk di chɛst.

Yu dɔktɔ go tek ɔl dɛn tɛst rizɔlt ya, yu sayn dɛn, ɛn yu mɛdikal istri fɔ kam fɔ no di las tin. Dɔn i go mek wan tritmɛnt plan we go fayn fɔ yu.

If yu gɛt ɛni kwɛstyɔn bɔt di rizɔlt, nɔ fred fɔ aks yu dɔktɔ. "Dɔkta, dɛn tɛl mi se mi BNP lɛvɛl ay, wetin dat rili min?" na yu rayt fɔ aks.
