PCT, and not secreted

• Urinaryexcretion of the cystatinC : correlates with
severity of acute tubular damage
• Serum cystatin C : early markerof impairedGFR, not

23. NeutrophilGelatinase-Associated
Lipocalin (NGAL)
•NGAL is expressed by neutrophils
•Major renal source of urinary NGAL is from the
TAL and collecting ducts
•NGAL gene is strongly induced after kidney
injury by ischemia, sepsis or nephrotoxins
Lisowska-Myjak B.Blood Purif 2010;29:357–365
24. Neutrophil Gelatinase-
Associated Lipocalin (NGAL)
• DuringAKI, both urine and plasmaNGAL are elevated
• Urine NGAL: productionfromTAL andCCD 3 hrs after
injury
• PlasmaNGAL: increasedhepaticproduction after injury

TRIBE AKI
• Large prospective, multicenter international
cohort of adult patients undergoing cardiac
surgery (N = 1219)
• What biomarkers measured at time of first
clinical diagnosis of AKI after cardiac surgery can
potentially predict AKI severity
26. • plasma NGAL performing the best
(category-free net reclassification
improvement of 0.69, P < 0.0001).
• Plasma NGAL on day of AKI
diagnosis improve risk stratification
and identify patients at higher risk
for progression of AKI and worse
patient outcomes
