BACKGROUND: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is often accompanied with tubulointerstitial lesion. This study aimed to assess the role of urinary biomarkers in predicting tubulointerstitial lesion and treatment response in FSGS patients.
Studies on neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as an iron-regulatory protein are limited. This study investigated the relationships between plasma NGAL levels and indices of anemia in 187 patients with systemic inflammation. Plasma NGAL...
OBJECTIVE: Cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) are biomarkers of renal functions. We evaluated their roles in predicting the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).
BACKGROUND: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) accumulates in cortical tubules in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, with its levels associated with serum creatinine. However, the predictive value of NGAL level for contrast-induced ac...

CONTEXT.—: Delayed recognition of acute kidney injury (AKI) results in poor outcomes in military and civilian burn-trauma care. Poor predictive ability of urine output (UOP) and creatinine contribute to the delayed recognition of AKI.
OBJECTIVES: The neuropeptide hormone- Oxytocin (OXT) and glycoprotein Lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) are strongly associated with cardiometabolic risks of insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome (MetS) and prediabetes (preDM).
