B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP)

BNP is a hormone produced by your heart when it’s working harder than usual or under stress. High BNP levels can be a sign that your heart isn’t pumping as well as it should, which can happen in heart failure or other heart conditions. This test is helpful if you have symptoms like shortness of breath, swelling, or fatigue.

What's the difference between this and a standard lab blood test?

Same-day blood test results are processed in our clinic using advanced equipment, so you receive your results quickly and accurately—ideal for when you want fast answers or to monitor your health. The main difference with a standard blood test is that your sample is sent to an accredited external laboratory, and the results come back as a certified lab report. Both options are reliable and accurate; the key difference is that lab-processed results are officially certified, while same-day results are provided directly from our clinic.
