| Abstract | Background: Prediction and early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients are of great importance. Therefore, using promising renal biomarkers such as cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) to identify the risk of future AKI is crucial. Materials and Methods: A total of 89 adult patients with COVID-19 were included in this study. Serum cystatin C and NGAL concentration were assessed on intensive care unit (ICU) admission then repeated after 48 hours. Serum creatinine was followed for 7 days to report the development of AKI. Results: Among the COVID-19 patients, 28.1% developed AKI. Although admission serum creatinine was not significantly different between the AKI group and the non-AKI group (p=0.375), admission Cystatin C (p=0.018), and NGAL (p | en |
