Abstract

We investigated the early predictive value of plasma and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) compared with serum creatinine in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in a heterogeneous adult ICU population. Previous studies display the excellent predictive value of urine NGAL for AKI in a pediatric ICU setting [ 1 , 2 ].
