Kidney injury molecule type-1, interleukin-18, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 levels in urine to predict acute kidney injury in pediatric sepsis

Abstract

Urinary KIM-1, IL-8, and IGFBP-7 levels could be used to predict AKI in septic patients. Urinary IL-8 has a higher sensitivity and specificity as a predictor of AKI in patients with sepsis.
