Official Title: Prospective Multicenter Study to Assess the Predictive Value of PIIINP and Urinary NGAL in Renal Function Recovery During Acute Tubular Necrosis
Brief Summary:
Acute Renal Failure (ARF) is defined by a severe, and usually reversible, glomerular filtration rate decreasing. Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN) remain the major cause of ARF involving distress and destruction of tubular cells. This specific typology of ARF may evolve toward Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) concretizing a major public health issue.
Predict the progression of ARF towards CRF appears essential. The investigators believe that the PIIINP and urinary NGAL biomarkers may constitute robust biomarkers of progression risk towards CRF.
