Urinary L-FABP as an Early Biomarker for Pediatric Acute Kidney Injury Following Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Key Findings:  This review finds that levels of urinary liver-type fatty acid binding protein were significantly correlated to duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, postoperative serum creatinine, and length of hospital stay suggesting it might provide useful predictive and early monitoring for acute kidney injury in patients.
