The aim of this study was to establish reference intervals in healthy children for two novel urinary biomarkers of acute kidney injury, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL).
MATERIALS & METHODS: Urinary biomarkers were determined in samples from children in the UK (n = 120) and the USA (n = 171) using both Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and Luminex-based analytical approaches.
95% reference intervals for each biomarker in each cohort are presented and stratified by sex or ethnicity where necessary, and age-related variability is explored using quantile regression. We identified consistently higher NGAL concentrations in females than males (p < 0.0001), and lower KIM-1 concentrations in African-Americans than Caucasians (p = 0.02). KIM-1 demonstrated diurnal variation, with higher concentrations in the morning (p < 0.001).
This is the first report of reference intervals for KIM-1 and NGAL using two analytical methods in a healthy pediatric population in both UK and US-based populations.
本研究的目的是为急性肾损伤的两种新型尿液生物标志物——肾损伤分子-1(KIM-1)和中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂质运载蛋白(NGAL),建立健康儿童的参考区间。
使用基于Meso Scale Discovery(MSD)和Luminex的分析方法,对来自英国(n = 120)和美国(n = 171)儿童的样本进行尿液生物标志物检测。
给出了每个队列中每种生物标志物的95%参考区间,并在必要时按性别或种族进行分层,同时使用分位数回归探讨与年龄相关的变异性。我们发现女性的NGAL浓度始终高于男性(p < 0.0001),非裔美国人的KIM-1浓度低于白种人(p = 0.02)。KIM-1表现出昼夜变化,早晨浓度较高(p < 0.001)。
这是在英国和美国健康儿科人群中使用两种分析方法得出的KIM-1和NGAL参考区间的首份报告。
