Table 2

Renal biomarkers and inflammatory parameters of 50 subjects at the time of admission to the hospital and at the time of hospital discharge.

	Hospital admission	Hospital discharge	P
sNGAL, ng/mL	153.90±75.04	91.34±56.63	<0.001
uNGAL, ng/mL	155.00±92.39	94.03±76.76	<0.001
KIM-1, ng/mL	0.38 (0.28–0.50)	0.24 (0.17–0.34)	0.037
CRP, mg/L	72.62 (54.38–96.96)	13.12 (9.71–17.72)	<0.001

Data are mean ± SD or geometrical mean (95% CI for the mean) for variables with skewed distribution.
Serum level of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGAL), urine level of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL), urine level of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and serum level of C-reactive protein (CRP).
