Abstract
The human phospholipase B-II precursor (HPLBII-P) was originally purified from white blood cells but is also found in other cellular structures such as kidney glomeruli and tubuli. The objective of this report was to investigate the relationship of HPLBII-P in urine to acute kidney injury in patients with COVID-19 Methods Urine was collected at admission from 132 COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICU) because of respiratory failure. HPLBII-P was measured by a sensitive ELISA. For comparison, HNL was measured in urine, by the ELISA configured with mabs 763/8F, as a sign of tubular affection in addition to routine biomarkers of kidney disease Results Overall, the concentrations of urinary HPLBII-P were almost 3-fold higher in COVID-19 patients as compared to healthy controls (p
