The intravascular administration of iodine-based contrast media is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). This study investigated whether changes in the urinary concentration of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) before and after coronary angiography they are able to predict the development of AKI independently of previously established absolute cut-off values. A total of 125 outpatients undergoing elective coronary angiography were enrolled and divided into 2 subgroups: G1 (n = 103), patients with changes in their serum creatinine after coronary angiography of < 0.3 mg/dL, and G2 (n = 22), patients with changes in their serum creatinine after coronary angiography &#8805; 0.3 mg/dL. The primary study endpoint was AKI defined as AKI network stages 1. uNGAL was measured before coronary arteriography and 2 and 4 hours afterwards. To determine the sensitivity and specificity for the absolute and relative variations of uNGAL, a receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed. Based on the ROC curve for the relative difference in uNGAL before and after coronary angiography, a 50% increase in the uNGAL value over baseline was 60% sensitive and 81% specific for AKI. The area under the curve for relative differences 2 hours after coronary angiography was 0.82. The percentage variations in the concentration of uNGAL detected the early stages of AKI regardless of the absolute cut-off established.
