Diagnostic and prognostic value of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, matrix metalloproteinase-9, and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 for sepsis in the Emergency Department: an observational study

Abstract: IntroductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate the early diagnostic, risk stratification and prognostic value of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), compared with procalcitonin (PCT) and the Mortality in Emergency Department Sepsis (MEDS) score in septic patients in the emergency department (ED).MethodsIn total, 480 consecutive adult patients were enrolled in this study. They fulfilled the systemi… Show more

“…Previous experimental (Maitra et al 2010;Teng et al 2012) and clinical studies also report higher levels of TIMP-1 in sepsis (Lauhio et al 2011;Muhl et al 2011;Yazdan-Ashoori et al 2011;Lorente et al 2014) and SA-AKI .…”

“…We also found that the septic patients without SA-AKI had higher levels of MMP-9 compared to the control group which indicates that sepsis not complicated by SA-AKI, causes the increase in MMP-9 activity. In sepsis, both higher (Lauhio et al 2011;Muhl et al 2011;YazdanAshoori et al 2011;Wang et al 2014) and lower ) levels of MMP-9 were found but none of these studies reported incidence of SA-AKI in the study population.…”

“…This review examines the current knowledge about the physiological function of NGAL in glycolipid metabolism and inflammation, which highlights the current understanding of the possible mechanisms underlying the association between glycolipid NGAL also known as 24p3, lipocalin 2 (LCN2), is a 25-kDa secretory glycoprotein that belongs to the lipocalin superfamily, which was initially purified from neutrophil granules. 5,6 Homologous proteins have been identified in mouse (24p3/uterocalin) and rat (alpha 2-microglobulinrelated protein/neu-related lipocalin). Like the other members of the lipocalin superfamily, structural data have confirmed that it shares a barrel shaped tertiary structure with an eight-stranded beta-barrel, which can bind to and transport small lipophilic substances and other hydrophobic molecules, such as prostaglandins, retinoids, hormones and fatty acids.…”
