RETRACTED: Combination of plasma NGAL, Cystatin C and NT-proBNP in the diagnosis of cardiorenal syndrome type 1

TO THE EDITOR:
Because of multiple submission (same manuscript (or the same data) to different journals at the same time) made by authors; all the authors were not granted access to the raw data and the raw data could not be made available to a third-party auditor, we are unable to validate the primary data sources underlying our article, “Combination of plasma NGAL, Cystatin C and NT-proBNP in the diagnosis of cardiorenal syndrome type 1”. We therefore request that the article be retracted. We apologize to the editors and to readers of the Journal for the difficulties that this has caused.

This article has been retracted: please see our publication ethics
(http://www.discoveryjournals.org/medicalscience/Publication_ethics/index.htm) adopted from Elsevier Policy on Article Retraction (https://www.elsevier.com/editors/perk/related-elsevier-policies,-documents-and-initiatives) & APA code of ethics (https://www.apa.org/ethics/code/principles.pdf)

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief following concerns. Authors submitted the same manuscript (or the same data) to different journals at the same time. Duplicate or redundant publication is a publication that overlaps substantially with one already in press.
This problem with the data casts doubt on all the data, and accordingly also the conclusions based on that data, in this publication. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal
