摘要:
Medical systems and methods for treating kidney disease alone, heart failure alone, chronic kidney disease with concomitant heart failure, or cardiorenal syndrome are described. The systems and methods are based on delivery of a natriuretic peptide such as Vessel Dilator to a subject. Methods for increasing and maintaining peptide levels at a certain concentration include direct peptide delivery via either an external or implantable programmable pump.
