Evaluation of uNGAL and TIMP-2*IGFBP7 as early biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury in Caucasian term and preterm neonates: a prospective observational cohort study
Our data show that uNGAL could be more useful than TIMP-2*IGFBP7 for early detection of AKI in preterm newborns. Further studies are needed to evaluate the role of both biomarkers during AKI and their relationship with gender, gestational age and birth weight.
