Low Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin Level as a Marker of Malnutrition in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients
BACKGROUND Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL or LCN2) is an iron-transporting factor which possesses various activities such as amelioration of kidney injury and host defense against pathogens. Its circulating concentrations are elevated in acute and chronic kidney diseases and show a positive correlation with poor renal outcome and mortality, but its clinical significance in mai...
متن کاملSerum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as a marker of kidney function in pregnancy – useful or doubtful?
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to assess whether neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C could reflect kidney function in pregnant healthy women. MATERIAL AND METHODS The studies were performed on 130 healthy pregnant women (n = 63, 3(rd) trimester; n = 21, 2(nd) trimester; n = 46, 1(st) trimester) and 30 healthy female volunteers. Serum NGAL, cystatin C, IL-6,...

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 as a survival factor.
NGAL (human neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) and its mouse analogue 24p3 are members of the lipocalin family of small secreted proteins. These proteins are up-regulated in a number of pathological conditions, including cancers, and may function as transporters of essential factors. Although previous publications have suggested that 24p3 has pro-apoptotic functions, other data are mor...
