Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the changes of serum cystatin C (Cys-C), beta 2-microglobulin (β2-MG), urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and alpha 1-microglobulin (α1-MG) in asphyxiated neonates, and to evaluate the value of combined detection of multiple biomarkers in the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in asphyxiated neonates. METHODS: A total of 110 full-term asphyxiated and 30 healthy neonates were included. The asphyxia neonates were divided into AKI and non-AKI groups. Serum Cys-C, β2-MG, urine NGAL, and α1-MG were measured 24 h after birth. The diagnostic value of the biomarkers was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen among the control group, moderate asphyxia group, and severe asphyxia group at 24 h after birth. Significant differences were noticed in terms of serum Cys-C, β2-MG, urinary NGAL, and α1-MG among the 3 groups. Moreover, with the aggravation of asphyxia, the above indicators gradually increased. There were significant differences in the 4 indicators between the AKI and non-AKI groups (p < 0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the above indicators was 0.670, 0.689, 0.865, and 0.617, respectively (p < 0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of the combined diagnosis of asphyxia neonatorum AKI with the 4 indicators were 0.974 and 0.506, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Serum Cys-C, β2-MG, urine NGAL, and α1-MG are early specific indicators for the diagnosis of renal injury after neonatal asphyxia. Combined detection of these parameters could aid clinical evaluation of renal injury in asphyxiated neonates.
