摘要:
Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is a stress-responsive cytokine known to be associated with adverse events in heart failure patients. The use of serelaxin has been shown to affect GDF-15 levels at baseline and decreases in GDF-15 levels over time. Measuring GDF-15 levels allows a healthcare provider to accurately predict pulmonary load in patients with pulmonary congestion.
