Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of critical illnesses and has a significant
impact on outcomes, including mortality and morbidities. Unfortunately, apart from …

Purpose of the review Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are
conditions that substantially increase morbidity and mortality. Although novel biomarkers are …

BACKGROUND: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) appears to be a
promising biomarker for the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI); however, a wide …

The term cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) increasingly has been used without a consistent or
well-accepted definition. To include the vast array of interrelated derangements, and to …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that, without diagnostic changes
in serum creatinine, increased neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels …

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains associated with high morbidity and mortality,
despite progress in medical care. Although the RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-Stage …

Background and objectives: The authors have previously shown that urine neutrophil
gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), measured by a research ELISA, is an early …

Background The early prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) by current clinical and
laboratory methods remains inadequate. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) …

Neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin (NGAL), a 25 kDa protein produced by injured
nephron epithelia, is one of the most promising new markers of renal epithelial injury. In …

Serum creatinine concentration, the classical biomarker of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in
cats, has important limitations that decrease its value as a biomarker of early CKD. Recently …
