Abstract Aim To determine the association of serum the Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) levels and the need for hemodialysis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Design This is a prospective, observational study.Setting A cardiovascular and University referral hospital.Patients Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) that underwent PCI, during two consecutive years were enrolled in our study.Main variables of interest NGAL levels were measured using ELISA. Blood samples were obtained within the first 6 hours of hospital admission, and 12 and 24 hours after contrast exposure from angiography. The primary outcome was the requirement of hemodialysis. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U Test was used to test for differences in median serum levels of NGAL. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was developed to assess the accuracy of NGAL to predict need for hemodialysis after PCI.Results A total of 2,875 were screened; however, 45 patients with ACS that underwent PCI were included. All patients were at high risk of developing Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) defined by Mehran score >11 points. The median (IQR) serum concentration of NGAL was significantly higher in patients that required versus did not require hemodialysis (340 [83-384] vs. 169 [100-210], p=0.01). Elevated serum levels of NGAL predicted the need for hemodialysis with an area under the curve of 0.86 (95% CI: 0.66-1.00).Conclusions In patients with ACS undergoing PCI and high risk of developing CIN, an elevated serum level of NGAL 6 hours after contrast exposure predicts development of acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis.

Abstract Aim: To determine the association of serum, Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) levels and, the need for hemodialysis after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Design: This is a prospective, observational study.Setting: A cardiovascular and University referral hospital.Patients: Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) that underwent PCI during two consecutive years were enrolled in our study. Main variables of interest: NGAL levels were measured using ELISA. Blood samples were obtained within the first 6 hours of hospital admission, and 12 and 24 hours after contrast exposure from angiography. The primary outcome was the requirement of hemodialysis. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used to test for differences in median serum levels of NGAL. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was developed to assess the accuracy of NGAL to predict the need for hemodialysis after PCI.Results: A total of 2,875 were screened; however, 45 patients with ACS that underwent PCI were included. All patients were at high risk of developing Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) defined by Mehran score >11 points. The median (IQR) serum concentration of NGAL was significantly higher in patients that required versus did not require hemodialysis (340 [83-384] vs. 169 [100-210], p=0.01). Elevated serum levels of NGAL predicted the need for hemodialysis with an area under the curve of 0.86 (95% CI: 0.66-1.00).Conclusions: In patients with ACS undergoing PCI; and high risk of developing CIN, an elevated serum level of NGAL 6 hours after contrast exposure predicts the development of acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis.
