Demographic data for urinary Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) marker [IGFBP7]·[TIMP2] reference range determinations

This data in brief describes characteristics of chronic stable comorbid patients who were included in reference range studies of [IGFBP7]·[TIMP-2] "Reference Intervals of Urinary Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Markers [IGFBP7]·[TIMP2] in Apparently Healthy Subjects and Chronic Comorbid Subjects without AKI" [1]. In order to determine the specificity of [IGFBP7]·[TIMP-2] for identifying patients at r...

NGAL, the New Marker for Acute Kidney Injury

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) biomarker.

The kidney has a remarkable capacity to withstand insults for an extended period of time. The sensitivities of individual renal cells to injury vary depending on their type, position in the nephron, local vascularization, and the nature of injury. The resulting kidney injury is a product of the interplay between cell dysfunction, cell death, proliferation, inflammation, and recovery. The Acute...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in perinatal asphyxia

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of perinatal asphyxia, occurring in upto 56% of these neonates. It is important to recognize AKI in asphyxiated neonates to facilitate administration of appropriate fluids and electrolytes in order to improve their outcome. Objectives: To determine the incidence of AKI in asphyxiated neonates and to correlate the severity and type of...

Urinary Biomarker – A New Dimension for Quick Detection of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

Correspondence: Prof. Md. Habibur Rahman, Department of Paediatric Nephrology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Acute kidney injury (AKI) in paediatric patients is characterized clinically by rapid loss of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) resulting in failure to excrete end products of nitrogen metabolism and to mantain fluid volume and electrolyte and acid base homeostasis.1,2 The i...
