Prognostic Value of Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Acute Heart Failure: A Meta-Analysis
Background: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is not only a sensitive marker of acute kidney injury but may also be a prognostic marker of acute heart failure (AHF). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum NGAL and all-cause death (ACD) and t...

| Summary: | Background: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is not only a sensitive marker of acute kidney injury but may also be a prognostic marker of acute heart failure (AHF). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum NGAL and all-cause death (ACD) and the composite outcome of ACD or AHF readmissions in patients with AHF. Methods: The Embase, Cochrane Library, and PubMed databases were searched for articles focusing on serum NGAL and ACD and the composite outcome of ACD or AHF readmissions in patients with AHF. The hazard ratios (HRs) were pooled with random-effects models. Results: The results from 2428 patients from seven studies were pooled in this article. Higher NGAL was relevant to an increased risk of ACD (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.38 to 2.61) and the composite outcome of ACD or AHF readmissions (HR, 2.92; 95% CI, 1.62 to 5.27) in patients with AHF. Conclusions: Serum NGAL has prognostic value for ACD and the composite outcome of ACD or AHF readmissions in AHF.
