Abstract
Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) commonly occurs in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin (uNGAL) could help in discriminating between different etiologies of AKI. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of uNGAL in: a) differential diagnosis of AKI; b) predicting the response to terlipressin and albumin in patients with Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS-AKI); c) predicting in-hospital and 90-day mortality.
