Why the study?
To investigate the development of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery by determining the rise in pNGAL earlier compared to creatinine.
Does neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL) predict acute kidney injury earlier than creatinine in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery?
Does neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL) predict acute kidney injury earlier than creatinine in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery?
The study investigates whether pNGAL can serve as an earlier predictive biomarker for AKI compared to creatinine in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.
Objective: The current study investigates the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery via earlier determination of the rise in neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL) compared to that in creatinine.
