Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how serum levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) relate to contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- It involved 58 CKD patients, measuring NGAL levels before and 24 hours after PCI, revealing that both pre and post-NGAL levels were significantly higher in those who developed CI-AKI, but without major differences between pre and post levels.
- Pre-NGAL levels showed good predictive ability for CI-AKI, with an optimal cutoff of 129 ng/ml, while post-NGAL levels > 141 ng/ml were strongly linked to CI
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing coronary interventions and highlights the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), with baseline neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels being examined as a potential predictive marker.* -
- In the study of 88 CKD patients, those who developed CI-AKI had significantly higher baseline NGAL levels (150 ng/mL) compared to those who did not (103 ng/mL), with NGAL proving to be a better predictor of CI-AKI than estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).* -
- The findings suggest that a baseline NGAL level greater than 127 ng/mL is associated
