Urinary levels of MIF detected the presence of AKI in APN patients. The receiver operating characteristic curves for the laboratory parameters for the detection of AKI in all APN patients () (a) or in the subgroup with renal dysfunction (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 cm2, ) (b). The AUCs of the urinary MIF, IL-1β, and KIM-1 levels, which were normalized based on the urinary creatinine (Cr) levels, are shown.
