Learn how the urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) test helps detect acute kidney injury early. Understand its benefits, accuracy, and role in kidney health.

Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has shown promise in differentiating acute tubular necrosis (ATN) from other types of acute kidney injuries (AKIs) in cirrhosis, …

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a 25 kDa protein produced by injured nephron epithelia, is one of the most promising new markers of renal epithelial injury. In contrast to …

Apr 25, 2019 · Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an emerging biomarker for earlier identification of acute kidney injury (AKI). Using similar methodology, a reference …

Since serum creatinine is known to be an inadequate and late marker of AKI, NGAL might soon emerge as a troponin-like early marker for AKI. Recent evidence also suggests its role as a …

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an emerging biomarker for the early detection of AKI. Studies have shown NGAL to be a highly induced protein in the kidney after …

Lipocalin-2 (LCN2), also known as oncogene 24p3 or neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LCN2 gene. [5][6][7] NGAL is involved …

Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) is proposed as a biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI). NGAL has been studied in a range of body fluids including serum and EDTA plasma.

NGAL has been indicated as a promising marker of acute kidney injury (AKI) (4). AKI causes an abrupt decline in renal function and it is defined as a minimum increase of serum creatinine by …

USEFUL FOR: As a noninvasive biomarker for acute renal injury. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), also called lipocalin-2, is a small secretory glycoprotein that is …
