Liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) levels are markedly upregulated in the proximal tubules after renal ischemia. We investigated whether urinary L-FABP is a suitable marker to predict AKI in ADHF patients %K Acute kidney injury %K Acute decompensated heart failure %K Liver-type fatty acid-binding protein %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5662955/
