Urinary NGAL and successful CVVHDF discontinuation. A Urinary NGAL level at CVVHDF discontinuation was significantly lower in those who survived without restarting renal replacement therapy for 7 days from the discontinuation (success group). B The relative change of urinary NGAL from the CVVHDF initiation was significantly lower in the success group throughout the CVVHDF period. C The ROC curves were described to predict successful CVVHDF discontinuation by urinary NGAL (solid line) and urine amount (dashed line). The areas under the ROC curve were 0.81 and 0.79 for urinary NGAL and urine amount, respectively, and they did not significantly differ (p = 0.5). *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01
