Popis: Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects 45% of critically ill patients, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. The diagnostic standard, plasma creatinine, is nonspecific and may not increase until days after injury. Aim of the work to assess myo inositol oxygenase as noval marker in early detection of acute kidney injury critically ill patients. Patients and Methods In this prospective study, 40 critically ill patients were followed up in ICU up regarding development of Aki in ICU according to KDIGO definition. They were categorized into two subgroups; 20 patients developed AKI in and 20 patients who did not develop AKI. In addition, a control group of 20 individuals in Ain Shams Hospital during the period from 2018 to 2019, we did myoinositol oxygenase level test at time of admission and repeated in patients group which develop AKI within 24-48 hours. Results MIOX for the diagnosis of AKI When the cut-off value was taken as above 800, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of MIOX for AKI were 100%). For creatinine, at the cut-off value of above 0.9, the sensitivity for AKI were found 90% and specificity for AKI were found 65%. Conclusion The measurement of serum MIOX is valuable for the diagnosis of AKI. Further research is needed for the evaluation of the potential use of MIOX as a kidney-specific enzyme in the early diagnosis of AKI.
