In physiology, natriuretic peptides are "Peptides that regulate the water-electrolyte balance in the body, also known as natriuretic peptide hormones. Several have been sequenced (atrial natriuretic factor; brain natriuretic peptide; c-type natriuretic peptide)."[1] In addition, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is an inactive peptide that is co-secreted with brain natriuretic peptide.[2]

Brain natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide are used as diagnostic tests to detect heart failure.[3][4] Both have a sensitivity over 90% but have a specificity of less than 70%.[3][4]
