  1. The Mann-Whitney T test was used and the median (IQR) is presented. *p <0.05 indicates a significant difference. Complex (+): with NGAL/MMP9 complex; Complex (-): without NGAL/MMP9 complex.
  2. BUN: blood urine nitrogen; RBC: Red blood cell; WBC: white blood cell; NGAL: neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; MMP9: Matrix metallopeptidase 9.
