Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and proteinuria predict severity of acute kidney injury in Puumala virus infection

Table 6 NGAL cutoff

uNGAL (ng/ml)	<30^a	30 – 130	>130^b
uACR (mg/g)	<200^a	200–2000	>2000^b
Risk of severe acute kidney injury	low	intermediate	high

An example for urinary neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (uNGAL) and uACR (urine albumin creatinine ratio) cutoffs to facilitate clinical decision-making in NE. Severe AKI is classified as an increase of plasma creatinine to >= 3x of baseline (AKIN stage 3)
^acutoff with high sensitivity (>90 %)
^bcutoff with high specificity (>90 %)
