Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is one of the most promising biomarkers of acute kidney injury (AKI). Objective is to evaluate the possibility of using NGAL as a biomarker of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Material and methods. We examined 113 patients (mean age 59,5 ± 9,6 years) with a diagnosis of ACS. Selective coronary angiography (SSC) was performed in 52,2% of patients. On the 1-3th day of hospitalization, the NGAL content in the blood (s-NGAL) and urine (u-NGAL), serum creatinine (sCr) was determined. Results. AKI (stage 1) was diagnosed in 11 patients with ACS, and only one patient had an AKI verified as CIN. The median s-NGAL (422,04 ng/ml) of u-NGAL (21,8 ng/ml) was higher than the reference values (177 and 72 ng/ml, respectively) in individuals with AKI and CIN in 2,4 and 1,3 times. Conclusions. In the study sample, the frequency of AKI and CIN was 9,7 and 1,7%. The content of NGAL in both blood and urine was not significantly higher in patients with AKI than in patients with ACS without AKI.
