Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Its Association with Acute Kidney Injury and Mortality

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an inflammatory biomarker related to acute kidney injury (AKI). Including 1892 consecutive patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), in which NGAL was measured in 1624 (86%) on admission and in a consecutive subgroup at 6–12 h (n =...

description Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an inflammatory biomarker related to acute kidney injury (AKI). Including 1892 consecutive patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), in which NGAL was measured in 1624 (86%) on admission and in a consecutive subgroup at 6–12 h (n = 163) and 12–24 h (n = 222) after admission, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of NGAL in predicting AKI and mortality. Patients were stratified based on whether their admission NGAL plasma concentration was greater than or equal to/less than the median. The primary endpoint was a composite of the first occurrence of AKI or all-cause death within 30 days. AKI was classified by the maximal plasma creatinine increase from baseline during index admission as KDIGO1 (<200% increase) or KDIGO23 (≥200% increase) according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) system. Admission NGAL > the median was independently associated with a higher risk of severe AKI (KDIGO2-3) and 30-day all-cause mortality when adjusted for age, admission systolic blood pressure and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, left-ventricular ejection fraction, known kidney dysfunction, and cardiogenic shock with an odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 2.26 (1.18–4.51), <i>p</i> = 0.014. Finally, we observed increasing predictive values in a subgroup during the first day of hospitalization suggesting that assessment of NGAL should be delayed for optimal prognostic purposes.
