Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin prior to cardiac surgery predicts acute kidney injury and mortality
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate whether preoperative serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGALpre-op) predicted postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalisation and 1-year cardiovascular and all-cause mortality following adult cardiac surgery. METHODS This study was a post hoc analysis of the Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Clinical Outcomes in Patie...
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 کاملUrine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin moderately predicts acute kidney injury in critically ill adults.
Urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) has shown promise as a biomarker for the early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) in fixed models of injury, but its ability to predict AKI and provide prognostic information in critically ill adults is unknown. We prospectively studied a heterogeneous population of 451 critically ill adults, 64 (14%) and 86 (19%) of whom developed AK...
متن کاملDiagnostic 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...
