This group had more radiographic evidence of pulmonary congestion, pleural effusion, and cardiomegaly (42.3%, 22.5%, 53.8% vs. 18.6%, 11%, 16.8%, respectively; p < 0.001) (Table 2); lower hemoglobin and hematocrit levels (p = 0.001); and higher creatinine, D-dimer, troponin, and NT-proBNP values (p = 0.001) at admission (Table 2). The gene discussed is NPPB; the disease is Pleural effusion.
