The Predictive Value of Urinary Kidney Injury Molecular 1 for the Diagnosis of Contrast‐Induced Acute Kidney Injury after Cardiac Catheterization: A Meta‐Analysis

BACKGROUND: Urinary kidney injury molecule 1 (uKIM-1) is a proximal tubular injury biomarker for predicting acute kidney injury (AKI); its prognostic value varies depending on the clinical and population characteristics. However, the predictive value of uKIM-1 for diagnosis of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) remains unclear. METHOD: Medline, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, Cochrane Library database, and the China National Knowledge …
