Serum and Urinary NGAL in Septic Newborns

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of inflammation on serum and urine NGAL in newborns that were treated due to infection. We determined serum and urine NGAL concentrations in 73 infants (51 with sepsis; 22 with severe sepsis) adm...

متن کاملPrognostic significance of urinary NGAL in chronic kidney disease

The aim of the present study was to examine the correlation of uNGAL with severity of renal impairment in CKD and to evaluate its prognostic value in these subjects. METHODS This was a prospective s...
