Based on the highest area under the receiver-operating characteristics curve (AUC), specificity and accuracy values, the cytokines and biomarkers with the best performance for the prediction of AKI were EGF at a cutoff of 4600 pg/mL (AUC = 0.788, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.597–0.979, p = 0.014) and NGAL at a cutoff of 40 ng/mL (AUC = 0.797, 95% CI: 0.668–0.927, Table 3). Here, EGF is linked to acute kidney injury.
