Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin Measured on Admission to the Intensive Care Unit Accurately Discriminates between Sustained and Transient Acute Kidney Injury in Adult Critically Ill Patients

Background: First we aimed to evaluate the ability of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin-C (CyC) in plasma and urine to discriminate between sustained, transient and absent acute kidney injury (AKI), and second to evaluate their predictive performance for sustained AKI in...
