BACKGROUND: Daily serum creatinine monitoring protocols for acute kidney injury (AKI) are invasive and may lead to surveillance resistance. We aimed to understand if use of urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) could increase high-risk nephrotoxic medication (NTMx) associated AKI screening adherence in neonates.

METHODS: Statistical process control methods prior to and post implementation were trended. The primary outcome, screening adherence, was defined as either daily serum creatinine or uNGAL assessment through 2 days post high-risk NTMx exposure.

RESULTS: 1291 monitoring days from the pre-implementation era (4/2020-6/2021) were compared to1377 monitoring days from the post-era (6/2021-10/2022). AKI screening adherence increased (81 to 92%) following implementation of optional uNGAL screening. Urine NGAL accounted for 35% of screening obtained. Use of uNGAL resulted in a 40% reduction in blood sampling for serum creatinine.

CONCLUSIONS: Incorporation of uNGAL as a complementary screening tool to serum creatinine demonstrated sustained increased AKI surveillance in our Baby NINJA monitoring program.
