Glomerular filtration decrease after diagnostic cardiac catheterisation in children with congenital cardiac malformation – the role of serum creatinine cystatin C neutrophil gelatinase and urine output monitoring

摘要

IntroductionDiagnosis of contrast induced-nephropathy (CIN) by a classic renal biomarker such as creatinine concentration can be delayed because of various factors that can influence this marker. Changes in new biomarkers such as neutrophil-gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C are postulated to be more sensitive for recognizing patients prone to CIN-acute kidney injury (AKI).
