Results KIM-1 peaked 2 days after surgery in adults and 1 day after surgery in children,
whereas L-FABP peaked within 6 hours after surgery in both age groups. In multivariable
analyses, the highest quintile of the first postoperative KIM-1 level was associated with AKI
compared with the lowest quintile in adults, whereas the first postoperative L-FABP was not
associated with AKI. Both KIM-1 and L-FABP were not significantly associated with AKI in
adults or children after adjusting for other kidney injury biomarkers (neutrophil gelatinase …
