Abstract

Serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is recognized as a useful biomarker for acute kidney injury. Recently, elevated NGAL levels were reported in patients with heart failure and cardiac events, but the association between serum NGAL and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been investigated adequately. This study aimed to evaluate the association between serum NGAL concentration and CAD severity in patients without heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Two-hundred thirteen patients [mean age: 66.2 ± 9.2 (SD)] without heart failure and chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate >60 mL/min/1.73 m²) who underwent coronary angiography were retrospectively analyzed using the SYNTAX score. The mean concentration of serum NGAL was 134.3 ± 111.3 ng/mL. A statistically significant correlation was observed between serum NGAL levels and the SYNTAX score (R = 0.18, P = 0.0091). Multivariable analysis also showed elevated serum NGAL as an independent risk factor for a high SYNTAX score (P < 0.01). Moreover, we evaluated the association of serum NGAL and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) with the SYNTAX score. Patients with high levels of serum NGAL (>100 ng/mL) and high levels of BNP (>25 pg/mL) had a higher SYNTAX score (low–low vs. high–high: 13.8 ± 13.4 vs. 20.8 ± 18.9, P < 0.05). Serum NGAL levels were positively and significantly associated with CAD severity, and the evaluation of both serum NGAL and BNP was useful for predicting CAD in patients without renal dysfunction and heart failure. Serum NGAL might be a biomarker for CAD severity.
