Does urinary Calprotectin differentiate Between Prerenal and Intrinsic Acute Renal Allograft Failure?
Urinary calprotectin is a promising biomarker for the differentiation of prerenal and intrinsic acute renal allograft failure.
In pediatric IF increased serum FGF21 levels reflect liver steatosis, while both are exclusively associated with duration of PN and extent of small intestinal resection. Liver steatosis is coupled with progression of fibrosis without accompanying inflammation. Serum FGF21 assay may be useful for diagnosing liver steatosis in IF patients.
