Calprotectin and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin As Biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury in Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Journal: The American journal of the medical sciences
PMID: 33892917

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasingly being seen in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and it is associated with higher short-term and long-term morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to identify those ACS patients at risk for the development of AKI. The objective of this study was to evaluate two different plasma biomarkers calprotectin and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in early detecting the development of AKI in ACS patients.
