Abstract:

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs both after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and after hypertonic saline administration; furosemide may be useful in preventing AKI indirectly. Serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGAL) is superior to serum creatinine (sCr) in diagnosing early AKI. We compared the administration of hypertonic saline plus furosemide (HTS+F) versus hypertonic saline (HTS), using sCr and sNGAL to investigate kidney injury in patients with TBI. This randomized, single-blind clinical trial was conducted from August 2016 to July 2017 in a neurosurgical intensive care unit, and included patients with a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) 7-13 and brain edema. One group (n= 22) received hypertonic saline 5% (100 mL over 60 min then 20 mL/h) plusfurosemide (40 mg over 60 min then 0.05 mg/kgper hour) for 72 h. The other group (n = 21) received only hypertonic saline 5%, in the samedose as noted above. The sCr and sNGAL concentrations, GCS, and length of stay were measured. Mean ± SD differences were -51.15 (47.07) and 9.96 (64.23) ng/mL for sNGAL and -0.12 (0.22) and -0.005 (0.2) mg/dL for sCr in HTS+F group and HTS group respectively (both p < 0.001). The incidence of stage one AKI according to Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria was 4.5% in the HTS+F group and 19.0% in the HTS group (p = 0.16). Hypokalemia was common in both groups. HTS+F group, compared with HTS group, was associated with lower concentrations of sCr and sNGAL. Incidence AKI (KDIGO criteria) did not have difference between groups.

Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin versus Serum Creatinine for the Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury after Liver Transplantation

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after liver transplantation (LT), and considerably increases the morbidity and mortality of the procedure. The gold standard of measuring the kidney function, the serum creatinine level (sCr), has poor specificity and sensitivity for the early diagnosis of AKI. Novel biomarkers for the prediction or early diagnosis of AKI, would pote...

Value of Plasma/Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Detection of Pediatric Acute Kidney Injury; a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background: Major attention has been drawn to the prognostic value of plasma/serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children, but still no consensus has been reached. Accordingly, the present study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of this biomarker in detection of acute kidney injury in children through a systematic review and me...
