Urine Microscopy Score and Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio at Presentation are Good Biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Upper Urinary Tract Infection when Assessed in Correlation with Virulence Factors of Escherichia coli and Blood Group Secretor Status

Urine Microscopy Score and Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio at Presentation are Good Biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Upper Urinary Tract Infection when Assessed in Correlation with Virulence Factors of Escherichia coli and Blood Group Secretor Status

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a leading cause of morbidity in urinary tract infection (UTI). We aimed to identify simple biomarkers and bacterial virulence factors associated with AKI in a setting of upper UTI due to uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). We designed a cross-sectional study to analys...
