ABSTRACT: Introduction
The utility of arithmetic product of urinary tissue metalloproteinase inhibitor 2 (TIMP2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) concentrations has been widely accepted on early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, which organ is the main source of those two factors and how the concentration of IGFBP7 and TIMP2 changed in serum during AKI still remain to be defined.Methods
In mice, gene transcription and protein levels of IGFBP7/TIMP2 in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney were measured in both ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)- and cisplatin-induced AKI models. Serum IGFBP7 and TIMP2 levels were measured and compared in patients before cardiac surgery and at inclusion (0 h), 2 h, 6 h, and 12 h after intensive care unit (IC
