Purpose: This study examined the clinical significance of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide level as a cardiac marker in Japanese hemodialysis patients. Methods: This was a multicenter cross-sectional study involving 1428 Japanese hemodialysis patients. Ultrasonic cardiography data at post-hemodialysis were obtained from 395 patients. We examined whether serum N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide levels were associated with cardiac parameters and assessed cut-off values and investigated factors associated with a reduced ratio of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide levels pre- and post-hemodialysis. Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pre- and post-hemodialysis N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide levels were associated with left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiogram (odds ratio: 3.10; p < 0.001 at pre-hemodialysis and odds ratio: 2.70; p < 0.001 at post-hemodialysis) and left ventricular hypertrophy on ultrasonic cardiography (odds ratio: 3.06; p < 0.001 at pre-hemodialysis and odds ratio: 3.15; p < 0.001 at post-hemodialysis). Post-N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide levels were also significantly associated with ejection fraction on urine chorionic gonadotrophin (ultrasonic cardiography; odds ratio: 35.83; p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curves for predicting the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiogram and ultrasonic cardiography showed similar sensitivity (57.7%, 57.3% at pre-hemodialysis and 63.9%, 48.2% at post-hemodialysis) and specificity (66.5%, 72.9% at pre-hemodialysis and 59.2%, 81.9% at post-hemodialysis). Decreased ejection fraction on ultrasonic cardiography showed better sensitivity (78.6%) and specificity (88.7%). The N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide reduction ratio during a hemodialysis session correlated with Kt/V, membrane area, membrane type, modality, body weight gain ratio, treatment time, and ultrafiltration rate with multiple linear regression ( R: 0.53; p < 0.001 except for ultrafiltration rate ( p = 0.003)). Conclusion: Both pre- and post-hemodialysis N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide are associated with the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy in this population. The post-hemodialysis N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide level is a useful marker for systolic dysfunction.
