What is the difference between a BNP and a proBNP?
KEY TAKEAWAYS. Differences between BNP and NT-proBNP on a biological level really relate to the fact that one is biologically active as a hormone, BNP, whereas NT-proBNP is cleared passively from the body and is not biologically active. Therefore, BNP has a much shorter half-life, NT-proBNP has a longer half-life.
