uNGAL (μg/g creatinine) and FEUrea (%) according to FENa (either <0.36% or >0.36%) in patients with noAKI, transient AKI, and intrinsic AKI. (A) For patients with FENa <0.36%, uNGAL(μg/g creatinine) levels were not significantly different between no-AKI, transient AKI, and intrinsic AKI. For patients with FENa >0.36%, uNGAL levels were significantly different between transient AKI and intrinsic AKI (P = 0.001). (B) For patients with FENa <0.36%, there was no significant difference in fractional excretion of urea between no-AKI, transient AKI, and intrinsic AKI. For patients with FENa >0.36%, there was a significant difference between patients with transient AKI and intrinsic AKI (P = 0.04).
