Article Synopsis

• Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication in critically ill patients, and early detection through biomarkers like TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 can improve treatment outcomes.
• * A study involving 135 ICU patients found that urine levels of TIMP-2/IGFBP-7 could effectively predict both AKI and major adverse kidney events within 30 days, using a threshold of 0.3 ng/mL.
• * The results showed a high sensitivity and specificity for detecting AKI, indicating its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool in high-risk populations.
