Abstract Background and Aim Acute kidney injury increases mortality in cirrhotic patients by four fold. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of urinary neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin (uNGAL) for differential diagnosis for acute kidney injury and for predicting short‐term mortality in cirrhotic patients. Methods We enrolled 94 patients of decompensated cirrhosis. uNGAL was measured upon hospital admission in all patients. Patients with urinary tract infection and anuria were excluded. Patients were followed for 30 days or until death. Results Ten (9%) patients had normal kidney function, 9 (11.37%) stable chronic kidney disease, 32 (29.50%) prerenal azotemia, 33 (36.37%) hepatorenal syndrome (HRS), and 10 (13.64%) intrinsic acute kidney injury (iAKI). Prerenal azotemia had lower median uNGAL values compared to HRS and iAKI (95.50 vs 465.00 vs 1217.50, P |
