Roles of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in human cancer
Cancer remains one of the major cause of death in the Western world. Although, it has been demonstrated that new therapies can improve the outcome of cancer patients, still many patients relapse after treatment. Therefore, there is a need to identify novel factors involved in cancer development and/or progression. Recently, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has been suggested as...
متن کاملExtracorporeal circulation causes release of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL).
Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) used during cardiac surgery causes activation of several inflammatory systems. These events are not fully understood but are responsible for complications during the immediate postoperative period. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a member of the expanding lipocalin family, has recently been described as an inflammatory protein. In this study, ...
متن کاملUrinary 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 کاملUrinary Neutrophil Gelatinase–Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) Distinguishes Sustained From Transient Acute Kidney Injury After General Surgery
BACKGROUND This prospective study tests the hypothesis that after general surgery urinary NGAL can distinguish between sustained acute kidney injury (AKI), typical of nephron damage, from transient AKI, commonly seen with hemodynamic variation and prerenal azotemia. METHODS Urine was collected in 510 patients within 2-3 hr after general surgery and urinary NGAL was determined using ELISA. Pat...
متن کاملUrinary Excretion of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Diabetic Rats
UNLABELLED Recent studies suggest that tubular damage precedes glomerular damage in the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, we evaluated oxidative stress and urinary excretion of tubular proteins as markers of tubular dysfunction. METHODS Diabetes was induced in rats by streptozotocin administration (50 mg/kg). Oxidative stress was assessed by measuring the activity of catalase (C...
