Introduction: The role of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as a prognostic biomarker in acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with coronary bypass graft has been suggested in some studies. However, the results have been inconclusive in different studies. Objectives: In the present research, we investigated the diagnostic and prognostic roles of NGAL in Iranian patients who developed AKI after coronary bypass surgery. Patients and Methods: This study was cross-sectional conducted on adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Postoperative AKI was defined based on the RIFLE (risk, injury, failure, loss and end-stage kidney disease) criteria. Patients were divided into AKI and non-AKI groups. The urinary NGAL and serum creatinine levels were measured at different times after surgery. Results: Out of 29 patients, men constituted 75.9% of cases. Mean age of the patients was 61.4±7.7 years old and the mean duration of surgery was 4.9±0.6 hours. Based on serum creatinine, AKI was diagnosed in 37.9%, 17.25%, and 13.8% of patients at first, second, and third day post-surgery, respectively. The urine NGAL increased by 48.35% and 34.5% at 2 and 6 hours after surgery, respectively. However, there was no significant association between the urinary NGAL level and the incidence of post-surgery AKI. Conclusion: This study showed that urinary NGAL was inapplicable to independently diagnose or predict the outcome of transient AKI associated with CABG.

Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) incidence of postoperative Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) with Cardipulmonary Bypass (CPB) at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital reached 69.8%, higher than the global average of 5-20%. Predictors of postoperative AKI are needed; potential biomarkers include plasma Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and Interleukin-9 (IL-9). This study aims to analyze the predictive ability of these two biomarkers. Methods: This is a prospective observational study in CABG patients with CPB without previous renal abnormalities at Dr. Soetomo in September-December 2020. Examination of plasma NGAL and IL-9 was carried out before, during, and after the CPB procedure. Results: 21 patients were included in the study, 17 people (81.0%) were male. AKI experienced 14 people (66.7%); 3 people (14.3%) died. Patients without AKI had higher plasma NGAL results at preinduction (17.9±10.3 vs 17.1±15.5), durante (20.5±8.2 vs 16.9±7.8), and early ICU (24.0±8.6 vs 22.9±10.4). Patients with AKI had higher plasma IL-9 results at preinduction (63.3±23.2 vs 55.7±15.8), durante (45.2±11.0 vs 44.2±9.2), and early ICU (49.6±11.3 vs 46.2±15.6). There was no statistically significant relationship between plasma NGAL and IL-9 results. Conclusion: Most CABG patients undergoing CPB have AKI. Patients without AKI had higher NGAL results and lower IL-9 in plasma. Statistically, neither of them can be used as predictive biomarkers of the incidence of AKI so far.

Introduction: Serum creatinine level is currently being used as an indicator to detect acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery, which is delayed and unreliable. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the AKI in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery by measurement of urinary creatinine and plasma kidney injury molecule (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 96 patients undergoing CABG were divided based on their serum creatinine level of the fourth day after procedure into two groups of AKI (an increase of creatinine more than 0.3 mg/dl or more than 150 % of its baseline level) and non-AKI. In both groups urinary KIM-1 and urinary NGAL were measured on the first day of surgery (first 24 h). Results: No significant difference was observed in baseline creatinine between the two groups (P>0.05). However postoperative serum creatinine, creatinine changes, urinary NGAL and KIM1 showed significant difference between the groups (P<0.05). Serum creatinine was positively correlated with KIM-1 (r = 0.666, P<0.001) and NGAL (r = 0.660, P<0.001). KIM-1 and NGAL had high ability to detect AKI [area under the ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve of 0.929 and 0.838, respectively]. The NGAL at cut-off point of 97.4 had 86% sensitivity and 80% specificity and KIM-1 at cut-off point of 14.8 had 84% sensitivity and 89% specificity. Conclusion: KIM-1 and NGAL had high ability to detect AKI. However, KIM-1 had higher detection ability than that of NGAL.
