Association of Urinary Lipocalin-2 with Lupus Nephritis
Objective(s): Lupus nephritis (LN) is the main cause of mortality and disability in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Therefore, utilizing a reliable and non-invasive method for serial measurements of renal function seems to be necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of urinary lipocalin-2 as a biomarker of renal involvement in SLE patients. Materi...
متن کاملIncreased serum levels of lipocalin-1 and -2 in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Despite a number of studies on biomarkers in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), only a few disease-related markers have been identified, yet we still have no satisfactory markers specific to innate immune system and neutrophil activation, which is essential in airway inflammation in COPD. Recent biological studies indicated that lipocalins (LCNs) might be involved in airway inflammat...

متن کاملSerum lipocalin-2 levels positively correlate with coronary artery disease and metabolic syndrome
BACKGROUND The lipocalin-2 (LCN2) cytokine, primarily known as a protein of the granules of human neutrophils, has been recently reported to be implicated in metabolic and inflammatory disorders. This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between serum LCN2 levels and coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS Serum LCN2 levels of 261 in-patients who underwent coronary angiography were ...
