Kidney and endothelial injury biomarkers as predictors of complications and mortality in patients with malaria: a systematic review

Key Points

• This review examines the role of kidney and endothelial biomarkers in predicting complications and mortality in malaria.
• Systematic review of existing literature
• Focus on renal and endothelial biomarkers
• Assessment of predictive value for acute kidney injury and mortality
• Biomarkers can detect kidney injury early in malaria cases
• Improved risk stratification may enhance clinical management
• Potential for biomarkers to reduce mortality rates in high-risk patients
