In positive for at least two criteria for SIRS are taken up as cases (n=30) and rest are taken as controls (n=30). All the patients were serially monitored for urine output, renal parameters, urine NGAL, APACHE II score and SOFA score. Patient urine was collected immediately afte by 12, 24 and 48 hours for measuring NGAL. Results: Mean change in NGAL (ng/ml) at 12 h -29.3±10.25 respectively in septic AKI and was non septic AKI. Within group analysis showed statistically high significance (p<0.0001) but not in non septic AKI group (P=0.97). On evaluating between group analysis, w significantly high difference of NGAL in septic AKI at 12 hrs, 24 hrs and 48 hrs as compared to non septic AKI (P<0.0001) 2, Issue 5, May, 2015. ) in septic versus non |
