Abstract:Purpose:Endostatin is a promising biomarker for predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). We investigated plasma endostatin upon ICU admission as a predictor of AKI, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and 30-day mortality.Methods:A retrospective multicenter study was performed with admissions (ICU length of stay ≥24 hours) to four ICUs. KDIGO criteria defined AKI. Endostatin on ICU admission was compared to creatinine, cystatin C, and the Simplified Acute Physiology Sco… Show more
