Results ranges Experts agree there is a healthy range for BNP levels. The cut-off point can vary by laboratory, but commonly, this range is less than 100 picograms of BNP per milliliter (pg/ml) of blood. This means that a result of more than 100 pg/ml indicates the possibility of heart failure.
What happens if your BNP is high?
BNP levels go up when the heart cannot pump the way it should. A result greater than 100 pg/mL is abnormal. The higher the number, the more likely heart failure is present and the more severe it is. Sometimes other conditions can cause high BNP levels.
What does high proBNP mean?
If your BNP or NT-proBNP levels were higher than normal, it probably means you have heart failure. Usually, the higher the level, the more serious your condition is. If your BNP or NT-proBNP results were normal, it probably means your symptoms are not being caused by heart failure.
Can BNP be lowered?
When levels are above the normal range, doctors usually lower them with medication. Your doctor may prescribe ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, or diuretics to help. Other factors that you may or may not be able to control could also keep BNP levels up, such as: High blood pressure.
Can high BNP be reversed?

What does the NT-proBNP blood test measure?
The NT-proBNP blood test measures brain natriuretic peptide to detect heart failure. If your doctor orders a BNP test, you are probably showing symptoms of heart failure. The test measures a hormone called “brain natriuretic peptide.” During heart failure, pressure builds up in the chambers of your heart and creates BNP.
