1 Urine NGAL in the critically ill preliminary results of the FINNAKI study Sara Nisula Intensive Care Units, Division of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Finland

2 Background Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) Excellent predictor of AKI in isolated cohorts (cardiac surgery, children) Performance varies in critically ill populations Appears to be useful in prediction of the initiation of RRT Accuracy in mortality prediction? Haase M, Bellomo R, Devarajan P et al. Meta-analysis Am J Kidney Dis. 2009

3 1.Half ( ) 1063 patients U-NGAL not analyzed 487 No AKI (62.7%) 90-day mortality 14.6 % 3494 Admissions 1840 patients 777 patients 290 AKI (37.3%) 90-day mortality 26.2 % 1654 Excluded 89 <18 years 15 Previously in study with RRT 755 Elective admission < 24h 33 On chronic RRT 15 Organ donor 1 Initiation of chronic RRT 89 Declined 20 Foreigner 81 No consent 14 > 5 days in study already 415 Intermediate care 72 Other/unknown 7 Transfers 48 Readmissions 145 AKIN stage 1 (18.7%) 90-day mortality 24.1 % 56 AKIN stage 2 (7.2%) 90-day mortality 23.2 % 89 AKIN stage 3 (11.5%) 90-day mortality 31.5 % 61 RRT (7.8%) 90-day mortality 31.1 %

4 Method NGAL Rapid ELISA kit (Bioporto diagnostics) Dr Runkuan Yang, Tampere University Hospital

5 Aim & hypothesis AIM: Test U-NGAL s power in predicting AKI, RRT and 90-day mortality in a mixed ICU setting HYPOTHESIS U-NGAL has additional value in predicting AKI, RRT and 90-day mortality in a mixed ICU setting

6 Evolution of U-NGALU over time Log N=731 N=688 N=596 N=527 N=448 N=348 N=187 (all AKIN stages) U-NGAL (ng/ml) p < in all timepoints

15 Independent predictive value of U-NGAL for RRT RRT OR 95% CI p SAPS II age (per 1 point) <0.001 Highest U-NGAL 24h (per 1 ng/ml) <0.001

16 U-NGAL in patients with no sepsis Patients with no sepsis at admission (N=562) AKI 189 (33.6%) RRT 37 (6.6%) 90-day mortality 88 (15.7%)

20 Conclusions Urine NGAL predicted AKI adequately (AUC 0.699) RRT well (AUC 0.794) 90-day mortality inadequately (AUC 0.603) No better in patients with no sepsis
