Relative ratios of urine biomarkers by CA-AKI status in this study are less than those in the Marathon study and the Translational Research Investigating Biomarker Endpoints in AKI (TRIBE-AKI) study. Comparison of the relative ratio of urine biomarkers in two cohorts: the Prevention of Serious Adverse Events following Angiography (PRESERVE) trial and the Marathon study. The PRESERVE trial compares urine biomarker levels before and 2–4 hours postangiography in patients who did and did not develop CA-AKI. The Marathon study compares urine biomarker levels 24 hours premarathon to 30 minutes postmarathon. The TRIBE-AKI study compared urine biomarkers before and 0–6 hours after cardiac surgery. The relative ratios of urine biomarkers in the PRESERVE trial are substantially lower than the ratios of urine biomarkers in the marathon runners and in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The relative biomarker ratio was truncated at 30 for the Marathon study results to facilitate the visual comparison across studies. In the AKI group, the 75th percentiles >30 are urine KIM-1 (105.04), urine NGAL (48.38), urine IL-18 (43.86), and urine MCP-1 (188.71). The median for MCP-1 is 60.84.
