Urinary neutrophil-gelatinase associated lipocalin is a more prognostic biomarker to distinguish antenatal hydronephrosis in neonates
Background: Routine diagnostic methods of Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) are invasive and can cause exposure to radiation and may increase risk of urinary tract infections. Therefore, introducing reliable, non invasive methods might be more interested in pediatric nephrology. The objective of this perspective case control study was to evaluate the prognostic value of urinary neutrophil-gelatinase ...
متن کاملNeutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as a biomarker for lupus nephritis.
BACKGROUND One of the challenges of treating patients with lupus nephritis (LN) is to accurately assess disease activity and predict its outcome. Since renal-biopsy cannot be performed routinely, new surrogate biomarkers are needed. METHODS We evaluated neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), to predict renal outcome in LN. Serum and urinary NGAL levels, measured by the enzyme-link...
متن کاملNeutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin: a promising biomarker for detecting cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury.
Acute kidney injury is a common and significant problem that occurs in a wide variety of clinical settings. Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury continues to be a well-recognized complication of cardiac surgery with associated morbidity and mortality. A lack of early biomarkers for acute kidney injury has prevented timely interventions to mitigate the effects of acute kidney injury. B...
متن کاملCorrection: Urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as a biomarker for acute canine kidney injury
After the publication of this work [1], we became aware of the fact that the values of NGAL reported in this study were concentrations of diluted clinic samples; and therefore for the actual concentration of urine NGAL, the value should multiply the dilution factor. With exception of Figure three (Figure 1 here), all the values of urine NGAL described in this study were detected by in-house ELI...
متن کاملNeutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as a biomarker for acute renal injury after cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND The scarcity of early biomarkers for acute renal failure has hindered our ability to launch preventive and therapeutic measures for this disorder in a timely manner. We tested the hypothesis that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an early biomarker for ischaemic renal injury after cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS We studied 71 children undergoing cardiopulmonary b...
