Abstract. The developers of KDIGO clinical practice guidelines for acute kidney injury (AKI) believe that, in addition to serum creatinine, the introduction of new biomarkers is necessary to assess the risk of developing the disease.
The aim of the study is examination and estimation the prognostic and diagnostic significance of NGAL and KIM-1 markers in the blood in patients with AKI receiving antibacterial therapy.
Material and methods. The incidence of AKI was estimated in 276 postoperative patients of the Department of urology and coloproctology using a prospective analysis method in accordance with the KDIGO clinical practice guidelines criteria after antibiotics were prescribed. The criterion for selecting patients in the study was antibiotic therapy initiation. Estimation of the level of serum concentrations of new markers, creatinine and proteinuria was carried out before the prescription of an antibiotic, 24–48 hours after the prescription of an antibacterial drug, and in patients with AKI – after 72–96 hours, and then once a day until the restoration of kidney function.
Results. The critical KIM-1 level for the development of AKI 24–48 hours after antibiotic administration was ≥117 pg/mL (OR 24,2; 95% CI: 7,2–75,8). The critical level of NGAL as determined by the ROC analysis was ≤103 ng/mL before antibiotics prescription (OR 15,1; 95% CI: 5,8–39,3), p <0,0001.
Conclusion. Fixing the levels of NGAL and KIM-1 in patients at risk of AKI developing can improve the prognosis of the development and diagnosis of this disease, which in turn creates background for improving the effectiveness of therapy and reducing the risk of serious nephrotoxic reactions during antibacterial drugs treatment. The level of NGAL less than 103 ng/ml can serve as a prognostic factor for the development of AKI in the appointment of antibacterial agents. An increase in serum KIM-1 of more than 117 pg/ml during the first 24–48 hours after antibiotics prescription can be considered as an early diagnostic criterion for the development of AKI.
