| Abstract | Tubular enzymes (TE) are early markers of acute kidney injury (AKI), but their value for liver transplant (LT) recipients is unknown. We sought to evaluate the usefulness of TE to predict AKI after LT. We enrolled Thirty-nine adult patients without AKI who had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). AKI was diagnosed according to the Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria. Of these patients, 23 had received orthotopic LT and 16 controls had been admitted for other conditions. Urinary lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (AF) and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) measured on days 1 and 3 of the ICU stay were normalized to urinary creatinine concentrations. AKI was diagnosed in 14 patients: 8 in the LT group and 6 in the control group. In the LT group, on the first day of the patients' stay in the ICU, urinary LDH (P = .032), AF (P = .022), and γ-GT (P = .002) were significantly higher among those who developed AKI; these elevations preceded those of serum creatinine. In forward receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) plot analysis, the areas under the ROC curves were 0.8, 0.86, and 0.92 for LDH, AF, and γ-GT, respectively. We concluded that TE determined early after LT are a helpful predictors of AKI. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
