Combination of hepcidin with neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin for prediction of the development of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury

The early prediction of the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients with sepsis would facilitate early effective intervention. Recently, interest has focused on the biomarkers for AKI-linked iron metabolism. This study aimed to assess the early predictive values of hepcidin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and their combination for secondary AKI in patients with sepsis.A prospective cohort study was...
