Diagnostic accuracy of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in patients with septic acute kidney injury
BACKGROUND Sepsis is the most common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Very few studies have investigated the predictive properties of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) as a marker of AKI in septic patients. The aim of this study is to examine uNGAL in septic patients with and without AKI and to evaluate its predictive value. METHODS We prospectively studied 155 pat...
متن کاملNeutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin and Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury.
BACKGROUND Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an early marker of acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS AND RESULTS Urine NGAL and serum NGAL (sNGAL) were assessed at 2, 6, 24, and 48 hours after contrast media (CM) exposure in 458 high-risk patients (development set). Optimal thresholds in predicting contrast-induced AKI (serum creatinine [sCr] increase ≥0.3 mg/dL at 48 hours a...
متن کاملUrinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin is an early predictor of acute kidney injury in premature infants
Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) is produced in response to tubular epithelial injury and is a biomarker of tubulointerstitial injury. The aim of the present study was to examine whether acute kidney injury (AKI) could be predicted by measuring uNGAL in very low-birth weight (VLBW) infants. Forty VLBW infants with birthweight below 1,500 g were enrolled in the present ...
متن کاملUrinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as a marker of acute kidney injury after orthotopic liver transplantation.
BACKGROUND Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a novel, sensitive and specific biomarker that is rapidly released after kidney injury. It predicts acute kidney injury (AKI) in multiple clinical scenarios. We hypothesized that urinary NGAL can predict AKI after liver transplantation. METHODS Urine was collected in 92 patients undergoing liver transplantation (18 living...
متن کامل[Association between urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery].
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an early biomarker for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after cardiac surgery. METHODS 33 cases undergoing cardiac surgery were divided into AKI group and Non-AKI group according to the AKI criteria. The concentration of urine NGAL at different time points were measured. RESULTS (1) Nine of 33 ca...
