Plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalinin in the general population: association with inflammation and prognosis.
OBJECTIVE Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a glycoprotein stored in granules of neutrophil leukocytes participating in inflammatory and atherosclerotic processes and possibly plaque rupture. Despite the putative role of NGAL in atherosclerosis and acute myocardial infarction, human studies of plasma NGAL are still limited. APPROACH AND RESULTS We prospectively followed 559...
متن کاملAssessing the Prediction Power of Plasma Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin and Serum Cystatin C for Diagnosis Kidney Damage
Background & Objective: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been recognized as a serious public health threat. The early detection of kidney damage in CKD is a useful way to reduce the disease burden. This study aimed to determine the power of Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C (Cys-C) to predict the kidney damage in Iranian patients. Materials & Methods: This st...
متن کاملplasma neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin in neonates with and without sepsis
conclusions sepsis enhances the production of plasma ngal in critically ill neonates. thus plasma ngal can help clinicians diagnose sepsis in critically ill neonates during early phases. results the ngal levels were significantly higher in septic neonates compared with non-septic neonates (102.9 ± 69.9 ng/ml versus 29.2 ± 13.3 ng/ml, p value = 0.0001). an optimal cut off-point of 48 ng/ml for s...
متن کاملNeutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin Value in Patients\' Urine with Gram Positive Cocci Infection in the Urinary Tract
Background and Aims: This study aimed to investigate the amount of Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients' urine with Gram-positive cocci infections Materials and Methods: The microbial culture was prepared from 100 urine samples and the results were recorded. The genus and bacterial were species identified and an antibiogram test was conducted to investigate their resis...
متن کاملNeutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin Levels During Pneumoperitoneum
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A temporary deterioration in renal function during pneumoperitoneum has been reported, but the extent is not known. A new marker for the early detection of renal injury, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), has been shown to increase in various conditions that affect renal function. This study was conducted to explore detrimental effects of pneumoperitone...
