LCN2 and congestive heart failure: In patients with serum NGAL levels in the highest tertile (T3), the adjusted HRs (adjusted-1) were significantly higher compared to those in the lowest tertile (T1) for various outcomes: AMI (HR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.32–2.47, p < 0.001), CV death (HR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.20–2.51, p = 0.004), CHF (HR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.32–2.32, p < 0.001), MACE (HR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.25–1.99, p < 0.001), composite CV events (HR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.28–1.93, p < 0.001), target vessel revascularization (HR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.34–2.06, p < 0.001), and new-onset hemodialysis (HR = 4.17, 95% CI = 2.16–8.11, p < 0.001).
