Urinary Liver-Type Fatty-Acid-Binding Protein Predicts Long-Term Adverse Outcomes in Medical Cardiac Intensive Care Units
Key Findings: This prospective study of patients in a cardiac intensive care unit (CICUs) found that admission levels of urinary L-FABP are accurate predictors of long-term adverse outcomes. These results could help improve the long-term risk stratification of patients admitted to medical CICUs, when used in combination with standard creatinine measurements of acute kidney injury.
