Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a method for predicting the risk of a patient to suffer from acute kidney injury (AKI) during or after a surgical procedure or after administration of a contrast medium. The method is based on the determination of the level of the biomarker IGFBP7 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 7) in a body fluid sample obtained from the patient prior to the surgical procedure or prior to the administration of a contrast medium. Further, the present disclosure describes a method for predicting the risk of a patient to suffer from acute kidney injury (AKI) based on the determination of the amount of the biomarker IGFBP7 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 7) and Cystatin C in a body fluid sample obtained from the patient. The present disclosure further encompasses kits and devices adapted to carry out the methods of the disclosed methods.
