Risk factors of acute kidney injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy and the prognostic value of urine NGAL / 中华内分泌外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the risk factors of acute kidney injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy and the prognostic value of urinary neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) .Methods:The data of 80 patients with diabetic nephropathy in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from Mar. 2016 to Dec. 2020 were retrospectively studied. According to the random selection of numbers + artificial arrangement, they were divided into observation group and control group according to the presence or absence of acute kidney injury (AKI) . The observation group included patients with diabetic nephropathy complicated by acute kidney injury, and the control group included patients with diabetic nephropathy. The urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) , blood routine, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) , NGAL, etc. were compared between the two groups. The correlation and influencing factors of acute kidney injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy and age, eGFR, severe infection, antibiotics, heart failure, respiratory failure, ACR, LVEF, and NGAL were studied. At the same time, the prognostic value of urinary NGAL was analyzed.Results:Single factor screening There was no significant difference in gender or body weight between the two groups ( P>0.05) . However, there were differences in age, epidermal growth factor receptor (eGFR) , severe infection, antibiotics, heart failure, respiratory failure, ACR, LVEF, and NGAL ( P<0.05) . Correlation Acute kidney injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy was very weakly correlated with gender, age, and body weight, moderately correlated with eGFR, heart failure, respiratory failure, ACR, and LVEF, and highly correlated with NGAL, severe infection, and antibiotics. Risk factors The independent risk factors for acute kidney injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy included severe infection, eGFR, antibiotics, ACR, LVEF, and NGAL. The prognostic value of urinary NGAL AUC=0.967, standard error 0.021, Youden index 0.967, sensitivity 0.967, specificity 1, and zero cutoff point 30.00. Conclusion:The main influencing factors of DN complicated with AKI are severe infection, eGFR, antibiotics, ACR, LVEF, NGAL, and urinary NGAL has prognostic value for DN complicated with AKI, and it is worthy of clinical application.
