Article Synopsis
- In Egypt, aluminum phosphide (ALP) is a dangerous poison that can lead to death, prompting a study on the predictive value of NT-proBNP for mortality in affected patients.
- The research took place from July to December 2022 at Ain Shams University Hospitals, where patients admitted for ALP poisoning had their NT-proBNP levels, along with other heart-related markers, measured.
- Results showed that non-survivors had significantly higher NT-proBNP levels, with a cutoff point of ≥72 pg/ml being effective for predicting mortality, indicating that NT-proBNP can be an early marker for assessing risk in ALP poisoning cases.
