1) This study evaluated new acute kidney injury (AKI) biomarkers to assess their reliability for predicting AKI and mortality in ICU patients. 2) The study found that urinary L-FABP, NGAL, IL-18, NAG, and albumin were all elevated in patients with AKI compared to non-AKI patients. 3) L-FABP and NGAL in combination were the best predictors of AKI and 14-day mortality and could detect AKI earlier than increases in serum creatinine.
