OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical utility of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as an early marker of acute kidney injury in asphyxiated neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). DESIGN Cohort study. SETTINGS National Intensive Care Unit of Maternity Hospital, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. PATIENTS The study included 30 term asphyxiated neonates (8 ...
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the early diagnostic, risk stratification and prognostic value of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), compared with procalcitonin (PCT) and the Mortality in Emergency Department Sepsis (MEDS) score in septic patients in the emergency ...
INTRODUCTION Several biomarkers have been suggested as early predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin-2 (NGAL) appears to be a promising predictor of AKI after OLT, but the clinical benefit remains to be proven. Recently, systemic macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been proposed as early indica...
BACKGROUND Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) protein is a promising biomarker to detect acute kidney injury (AKI). Earlier detection of AKI could facilitate evaluation of novel therapeutic strategies. METHODS Random and 24-h urine samples were prospectively obtained from 125 normal volunteers for analytic validation of a urinary enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for NGAL. For ...
INTRODUCTION Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a promising novel biomarker that correlates with the severity and outcome of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, its prognostic utility during the late course of AKI, especially in patients that require renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of serum NGAL in pat...
BACKGROUND In patients with heart failure, renal dysfunction is associated with a poor outcome. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a novel marker of renal tubular damage, in patients with heart failure with or without renal dysfunction, and compare it with 2 frequently used biomarkers of chronic kidney disease. METHODS AND RESU...
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...
Progressive disruption of renal tubular integrity in the setting of increased cellular proliferation and apoptosis is a feature of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Here we evaluated the effect of these processes on the expression of Lcn2 (NGAL) and interleukin (IL)-18, markers of tubular injury, in rodent models and in the cyst fluid and urine of patients with ADPKD. Two mo...
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is one of the most promising candidate biomarkers of renal injury, with expression in renal tissue increasing dramatically after ischemia-reperfusion injury but not in the case of pure pre-renal failure. In a recent issue of Critical Care, Di Somma and colleagues reported that NGAL could improve the classification of acute kidney injury compared...
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (Ngal, 24p3, SIP24, lipocalin 2, or siderocalin) was originally purified from neutrophils, but with unknown function. Recently, it was identified that Ngal activates nephron formation in the embryonic kidney, is rapidly and massively induced in renal failure and possesses kidney-protective activity. We would like to propose that blood, urine, and kidne...
