dc.description.abstractIntroduction Congenital obstructive uropathies are among leading reasons for renal failure in children. Answers to questions such as what the critical threshold of obstruction is or which degree of obstruction disrupts the development of the kidney still remain unclear. Several biomarkers such as Kidney Injury Molecule 1 (KIM-1) and Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) may help clinicians in the clinical evaluation and appropriate planning of the disease. Objective This study aimed to investigate whether serum and urinary KIM-1 and NGAL levels contribute to conventional methods in decision-making for surgery in the postnatal period of infants with antenatal hydronephrosis. Study design 34 patients with the diagnosis of antenatal hydronephrosis were evaluated prospectively. Renal pelvis diameters of all patients were above 10 mm in the ultrasonography (USG). Patients underwent diuretic renal scintigraphy after neonatal period. Patients were divided into two groups as surgery or follow-up based on USG and scintigraphy findings. Blood and urine samples were collected at first visits in both groups and again at the 3. Postoperative month in the surgery group. Serum and urinary NGAL and KIM1 levels were measured by ELISA method. Study data were compared through the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks test. Results There were 10 patients in the surgery group and 24 patients in the follow-up group. The age and gender did not differ between the groups. The surgery group had significantly higher median serum NGAL values (259.2 ng/mL) than that in the follow-up group (46.8 ng/mL, p = 0.028). The postoperative reduction of the median serum NGAL to 68.1 ng/mL compared to preoperative level was also found to be significant (p = 0.037) in the surgery group. Between the groups and within the surgery group no statistically significant difference was detected in terms of median urinary NGAL, and serum and urine KIM-1 levels. Discussion USG and renal scintigraphy are frequently used in determining whether patients with antenatal hydronephrosis need surgical intervention in the postnatal period. Several new biomarkers might help clinicians in decision making for surgery. KIM-1 and NGAL levels can be measured both in urine and serum. To our knowledge, this is the only study where serum NGAL and KIM-1 levels were measured in patients with antenatal diagnosis. Small sample size, lack of long term findings and control group are limitations of our study. Conclusion Serum NGAL levels of patients with antenatal hydronephrosis may help in decision making on the surgical intervention.en_US
