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 …

Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), also known as oncogene 24p3,
uterocalin, siderocalin or lipocalin 2, is a 24kDa secreted glycoprotein originally purified …

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

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 …

In patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) but no urgent indication for renal
replacement therapy (RRT), the optimal time to initiate RRT remains controversial. While …

Rationale & Objective The usefulness of measures of neutrophil gelatinase-associated
lipocalin (NGAL) in urine or plasma obtained on clinical laboratory platforms for predicting …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly occurs in hospitalized patients and is independently and
strongly associates with morbidity and mortality. The clinical benefits of a timely and …

It is vital that additional large future studies demonstrate the association between biomarkers
and hard clinical outcomes independent of serum creatinine concentrations and that …
