Performance of urinary NGAL and L-FABP in predicting acute kidney injury and subsequent renal recovery: a cohort study based on major surgeries

Abstract

Urinary NGAL and L-FABP can be used to detect AKI and combining NGAL and L-FABP may improve the diagnostic performance; however, NGAL and L-FABP may be poor predictors for renal recovery after AKI.
