SM Elmedany, SS Naga, R Elsharkawy… - Journal of critical …, 2017 - Elsevier
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiac surgery,
recently, several biomarkers have been used to facilitate early detection of AKI, including
Neutrophil-gelatinase-associated-lipocalin (NGAL) and Kidney-injury-molecule-1 (KIM-1).
This study was carried out to study the efficacy of urinary KIM-1 and NGAL separately and in
combination in relation to early detection and assessment of severity of AKI after cardiac
surgeries. Methods This prospective study was carried out on 45 adult patients, of both …
