Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a 25-kDa protein that is secreted
mostly by immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Its production …

Abstract Background Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) is a secretory
protein of neutrophils that can be found both in plasma and urine. Previous works have …

Background Several biomarkers have been proposed to predict the occurrence of acute
kidney injury (AKI); however, their efficacy varies between different trials. The aim of this …

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

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined by a sudden loss of excretory kidney function. AKI is part
of a range of conditions summarized as acute kidney diseases and disorders (AKD), in …

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

The incidence of perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is more common than previously
recognized, especially in high-risk patients undergoing higher risk procedures. The growing …

For many years, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has been considered the
most promising biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI). Commercial assays and point-of-care …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious condition, the diagnosis of which
depends on serum creatinine measurements. Unfortunately, creatinine is a delayed and …
