Predictive value of cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in contrast-induced nephropathy: A meta-analysis.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:There are still limited studies comprehensively examining the diagnostic performance of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C in contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). The study aimed to investigate and compare the predictive value of NGAL and cystatin C in the early diagnosis of CIN. METHODS AND MATERIALS:We searched the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases until November 10, 2019. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed by the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) tool. Bivariate modeling and hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) modeling were performed to summarize and compare the diagnostic performance of blood/urine NGAL and serum cystatin C in CIN. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were performed according to the study and patient characteristics. RESULTS:Thirty-seven studies from thirty-one original studies were included (blood NGAL, 1840 patients in 9 studies; urine NGAL, 1701 patients in 10 studies; serum cystatin C, 5509 patients in 18 studies). Overall, serum cystatin C performed better than serum/urine NGAL (pooled DOR: 43 (95%CI: 12-152); AUROC: 0.93; ?: 3.79); serum and urine NGAL had a similar diagnostic performance (pooled DOR: 25 (95%CI: 6-108)/22(95%CI: 8-64); AUROC: 0.90/0.89; ?: 3.20/3.08). Meta-regression analysis indicated that the sources of heterogeneity might be CIN definition, assays, and nationalities. CONCLUSION:Both NGAL and cystatin C can serve as early diagnostic indicators of CIN, while cystatin C may perform better than NGAL.
