Patients were recruited from the heart failure clinic of our medical school hospital. The diagnosis of HF was made on the basis of medical history, ongoing symptoms, and physical examination. All patients were on optimal medical treatment for HF for at least six months and had been clinically stable for at least three months before the study. All of them were on stable doses of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), beta-blockers, and spironolactone unless contraindicated. In all patients left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was assessed by echocardiography using the Simpson method. All individuals had LVEF ≤50% at the time of inclusion. Patients under dialysis were excluded.

The primary endpoint of the study was the time to first event, defined as a composite outcome of death from cardiovascular cause, admission for HF or emergency department visit for HF requiring intravenous diuretics. All endpoints were independently adjudicated. Creatinine was measured again at six months of follow-up to estimate eGFR at this point. The secondary endpoint was a 20% decrease in eGFR at six months.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0085">Assessment of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin</span><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Plasma NGAL was assessed by the Triage NGAL Test (Alere Inc, San Diego, CA, USA), an immunoassay in a single-use plastic cartridge that contains a fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibody against NGAL labeled with a fluorescent dye and NGAL. There are built-in control features, including control immunoassays, to ensure that the test performs properly and that the reagents are functionally active. The test procedure involves the addition of several drops of whole blood or plasma to the sample port on the test device. After addition of the sample, the cells are automatically separated from the plasma via a filter. The sample reacts with fluorescent antibody conjugates within the reaction chamber and flows down the device detection lane by capillary action. The fluorescent antibody conjugates are captured on discrete solid-phase zones resulting in binding immunoassays that are specific for NGAL or the control antigens.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0090">Assessment of other biomarkers</span><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Venous blood samples were taken and analyzed at the local laboratory.

Serum creatinine, age, body surface area, gender, and ethnicity were used to calculate eGFR using the Cockcroft-Gault method. First morning spot urine samples were taken with the patient in the upright position and transported immediately to the laboratory. Urinary albumin concentration (UAC) was determined using a turbidimetric assay and microalbuminuria was defined as UAC 25–200 mg/l, according to the manufacturer's indications.

Importantly, our data indicate that even in patients without chronic kidney disease or albuminuria, increased NGAL is associated with unfavorable outcomes.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In contrast with creatinine, NGAL is a tubular damage marker that has been found to be elevated early after acute kidney injury (AKI). Dent et al. demonstrated that NGAL was effective in identifying AKI 2–3 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery as compared with 2–3 days for creatinine.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> In patients admitted for HF, Damman et al. demonstrated that admission serum NGAL levels were associated with increased risk of subsequent worsening of renal function.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Additionally, in patients with acutely decompensated HF, Maisel et al. found that serum NGAL measured at discharge was a better risk predictor of 30-day events than BNP, creatinine or eGFR.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a></p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In patients with chronic HF, few such studies have been carried out. In the GISSI-HF study, urinary NGAL was measured along with other urinary markers of tubular damage. All of them were associated with a poor clinical outcome, even when eGFR was normal.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> In the CORONA study, the ability of plasma NGAL to predict clinical events was assessed in patients with chronic HF.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> Multivariate analysis revealed that NGAL added significant information when adjusting for clinical variables, but was no longer significant after further adjustment for apolipoprotein A-1, C-reactive protein (CRP), eGFR, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). However, there are some important differences between the CORONA study and the present study. The former included patients with ischemic systolic HF, while patients with multiple etiologies were included in our study. Besides, the CORONA study included elderly patients.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Interestingly, NGAL seems to predict cardiovascular outcomes in the community. Plasma NGAL was measured in 1393 Rancho Bernardo Study participants without cardiovascular disease (CVD), who were followed for a mean of 11 years. NGAL was a significant predictor of mortality and CVD in this elderly cohort, independently of traditional risk factors and kidney function and in addition to NT-proBNP and CRP.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a></p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Taken together, these results indicate that plasma NGAL provides important prognostic information and is not merely serving as a surrogate measure of renal function. It has been related to inflammation<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> and matrix remodeling<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> and is expressed at high levels in the heart and in atherosclerotic plaques.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> There are important differences between plasma and urinary NGAL. NGAL mRNA is markedly up-regulated within the distal nephron during ischemic or toxic renal injury, and the secretion of NGAL into the urine seems to comprise the major fraction of urinary NGAL. By contrast, although plasma NGAL levels increase during acute and chronic renal impairment, the kidney seems not to be the only source of circulating NGAL. Kidney injury and other ischemic and inflammatory processes cause up-regulation of NGAL production in other tissues and cells, which probably represents the main source of plasma NGAL.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19,20</span></a> Whether such differences may result in significant differences in plasma NGAL performance as compared with urinary NGAL is not known. To date, no head-to-head comparison between these two biomarkers has been carried out.</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the present study NGAL correlated with creatinine, eGFR, and albuminuria but not with BNP. In addition, BNP, a standard HF biomarker, was not associated with outcomes. A possible explanation for this is the fact that all patients were on optimal medical treatment for HF for at least six months. BNP has been shown to respond to HF treatment, and some studies in fact report benefits in using natriuretic peptides to guide treatment.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21,22</span></a> Median BNP in our population was quite low (61 pg/ml), reflecting excellent medical treatment. These results suggest that in chronic HF patients under optimal treatment, BNP is no longer a good risk marker since it has been reduced in response to treatment. In this scenario markers of renal injury and inflammation such as NGAL seem to be superior to wall stress biomarkers.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Two limitations of the present study must be addressed. This is a small, single-center study with a small number of events, which may limit statistical analysis. Therefore, our data need to be validated in larger prospective studies. Secondly, we studied a heterogeneous population, with multiple etiologies for HF. Since this is a small sample, we could not control for issues related to specific etiologies. Despite these limitations, this was a prospective longitudinal study with valuable information regarding prognosis in stable HF patients, using a simple biomarker that can be easily used in daily clinical practice. Studies in a large population addressing the natural course of NGAL in chronic HF and its potential as a treatment target are warranted.</p></span><span id="sec0050" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0110">Conclusion</span><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In this study we found that in patients with chronic HF under optimal medical treatment, NGAL correlates with traditional markers of renal function such as creatinine, eGFR, and albuminuria but not with BNP.
