Abstract

Background. Acute kidney injury (AKl) can develop in a variety of conditions, especially in critically ill patients, and is often diagnosed late or remains undiagnosed. Clinical syptoms and routine laboratory parameters such as urine output and serum creatinine levels are late signs of kidney injury. The study and implementation into practice of new markers with high specificity at the early stages of kidney injury is an imperative of the time. the neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (ngal) is one of such markers. objective. evaluation of the diagnostic and prognostic value of blood ngal level in patients with septic shock. Material and methods. 76 patients (45 men and 31 women, mean age 59.4 ± 6.2 years), diagnosed with sepsis of various etiology, were examined. aki was diagnosed according to the kdigo (Kidney disease improving global outcomes) criteria. serum ngal (sngal) levels were determined in patients at admission to the intensive care unit and 6, 24, 36 hours after. to analyze the predictive ability of ngal, the binary logistic regression method and the auc (area under curve) calculation was used. results. the sngal level in aki patients was statistically significantly higher - 172.4 (129.i-257.7) than in patients without aki - 124.3 (93.8-151.5) pg/ml (P
