Evaluation of the Diagnostic Utility of Urine Biomarkers Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-7 (IGFBP-7) in Predicting Acute Kidney Injury and Short-term Outcomes among High-risk, Criticall
Urine TIMP-2/IGFBP-7, at its current cut-off at 0.3 ng/mL, can predict the likelihood of developing AKI and major adverse kidney events among high-risk patients for AKI. It can serve as a useful adjunct to existing methods, such as serum creatinine, in the early diagnosis and prognosis of acute kidney injury and expanding the therapeutic window to prevent disease progression and improve outcomes.
