Urinary, Plasma, and Serum Biomarkers' Utility for Predicting Acute Kidney Injury Associated With Cardiac Surgery in Adults: A Meta-analysis
Key Findings: This systematic review looked at multiple biomarkers, including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin C, IL-18, liver-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP), and kidney injury marker 1 (KIM-1) and found they possess modest discrimination to predict kidney injury in cardiac surgery patients.
