background early predictive biomarkers for acute kidney injury (aki) such as neutrophil elatinase-associated lipocalin (ngal) could identify patients who may benefit from early initiation of treatment. objectives we aimed to obtain a cut off point for aki prediction by urine ngal in kidney transplantation. patients and methods in a prospective cohort study, 64 adult who underwent kidney transpl...

background: acute kidney injury (aki) is a common and life-threatening complication following coronary artery bypass graft (cabg). neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (ngal) and cystatin c have shown to be good predictive factors for aki. recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of hypertonic saline in cardiac operations. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prophy...

objective(s) lipocalin 2 (lcn2) is a 25-kda glycoprotein that has initially been extracted from neutrophil granules. expression of lcn2 is induced under various pathophysiological conditions. it is also known as an early marker of kidney and heart injury. high-level expression of recombinant lcn2 neutrophil gelatinase-associated(ngal) in insect cells was the aim of this study. materials and met...

To observe the changes of neutrophil gelatinase associated apolipoprotein (neutrophil lipocalin), lipoprotein phospholipase A2 and inflammatory cytokine hypersensitive C-reactive protein in patients with coronary heart disease to explore correlation between serum lipoproteinassociated A2, lipocalin, degree artery disease. 200 inpatients cardiovascular department our hospital were divided into g...

background: hypertension is one the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (ckd). one of the major concerns in hypertensive patients is early detection of renal disorders. in the past, serum creatinine (scr) concentration was used as a marker of kidney function, but it proffers a late reflection of reduced glomerular filtration rate. cystatin c and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocal...

background: serum levels of lipocalin 2 (lcn 2) and retinol-binding protein-4 (rbp 4), increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). we sought to determine whether serum lcn 2 and rbp 4 change after an intervention with omega-3 fatty acids supplementation in diabetic patients. methods: forty-five type 2 diabetic patients from iranian diabetic association in tehran, iran in 2013 were randomly rec...

OBJECTIVES Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the response of the body to infection injures its own tissues and organs. The early prediction of sepsis by current clinical and laboratory methods remains inadequate. Serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin level is increased in sepsis irrespective of renal dysfunction. Therefore, we aimed to correlate the serum neutro...

Background: The effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) on reproductive system have been of critical concern for a long time. It has been shown that the EMF can adversely affect testicular cells and tissue and decrease male fertility. The most important determinants of male fertility are sperm development and motility, which are affected by changes in several factors including lipocalin 2 protei...
