Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is) and angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) may cause potential renal damage, the combined impact of SGLT2Is and ARNI on acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. This pharmacovigilance study conducted a disproportionality analysis using reports from the FAERS database. The reporting odds ratio (ROR) was used as an estimate for detecting AKI signal.

Background: Pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires reliable biomarkers for early detection and monitoring. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has emerged as a potential marker due to its responsiveness to renal impairment and involvement in mineral metabolism.

Objectives: To evaluate serum NGAL levels in pediatric CKD patients and explore correlations with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), ferritin, calcium-phosphorus (Ca*P) product, and total serum protein.
