Correlation of prechemotherapy urinary megalin ectodomain (A-megalin) levels with the development of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity: a prospective observational study

Table 2 Correlations between renal function and urinary markers

r, Pearson’s correlation coefficient. α₁-MG, α₁-microglobulin; β₂-MG, β₂-microglobulin; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; L-FABP, liver-type fatty acid-binding protein; NAG, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase; NGAL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. ΔeGFR, maximum change from the baseline value to the lowest value of eGFR during follow-up. Δurinary marker = (maximum urinary marker after cisplatin administration) – (urinary marker before cisplatin administration). NGAL and L-FABP were measured only before cisplatin administration
