Objectives: To evaluate whether novel biomarkers of renal injury, serum HE4 and NT-proBNP could predict acute kidney injury (AKI) on chronic kidney disease (CKD) (A on C) and assess the specificity and efficiency of serum creatinine (SCr), HE4 and NT-proBNP in identifying potential AKI. This evidence concerns the gene WFDC2 and chronic kidney disease.
