Summary

This study looked at 197 emergency room patients with rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle breakdown) to see if a blood test for a protein called NGAL could predict who would develop acute kidney failure within 48 hours. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and start treatment faster. The study did not test any new drug or treatment.
