How are your BNP levels ?

[d333gs]

Healthy individuals are supposed to be 125 or under.
I tested 147 today . I am 70 years old.
450 indicates heart failure.
Nevertheless, I don't like 147
I see my cardio end of month .

I got caught out by this and eventualy found a more granular table:

Kvinne 18 - 49 år <170 ng/L
Mann 18 - 49 år <85 ng/L
Kvinne 50 - 69 år <300 ng/L
Mann 50 - 69 år <250 ng/L
Kvinne ≥ 70 år <760 ng/L
Mann ≥ 70 år <500 ng/L

(Kvinne == woman)

I have no clue. The doctor never ordered that test.

Bet he has, talk to him about it.

He hasn't. I have access to all my lab test results and that one isn't in there. The only tests the cardiologist ordered were the echo doppler and the CT. My primary care did a basic blood panel (which had no mention of bnp) and ekg. That is the complete extent of my testing so far.
