Detection of Renal Injury Following Primary Coronary Intervention among ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients: Doubling the Incidence Using Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin as a Renal Biomarker

Detection of Renal Injury Following Primary Coronary Intervention among ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients: Doubling the Incidence Using Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin as a Renal Biomarker

Background: A subgroup of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) do not fulfil the functional criteria for AKI diagnosis but show elevated levels of new biomarkers reflecting tubular injury, suggesting that these patients suffer “subclinical AKI”. We investigated the incidence and possible implicat...
