- Abstract
The value of neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a novel biomarker in the detection of acute renal failure in children after cardiac surgery, has been highlighted in previous studies. The incidence of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) increases, which may possibly result in increased incidences of contrast nephropathy, its potentially serious complication. Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess prospectively NGAL in patients undergoing elective PCI in relation to serum creatinine.
