Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a primarily described complication after unbalanced systemic perfusion in neonates with congenital heart defects, including hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). The aim of the study was to compare the umbilical NGAL concentrations between neonates born with HLHS and healthy infants, as well as to analyze whether the determination of NGAL level could predict AKI i...
BACKGROUND Hypertension and diabetes are the two leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) eventually leading to end stage renal disease (ESRD) and the need of renal replacement therapy. Mortality among CKD and ESRD patients is high, mostly due to cardiovascular events. New early markers of risk are necessary to better anticipate the course of the disease, to detect the renal affection of ...
Background. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and the acute clinical manifestations represent acute on chronic inflammation. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is found in the granules of human neutrophils, with many diverse functions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that levels NGAL in blood may reflect the inflammatory process in various sta...
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...
Objective This investigation evaluated the real-time point-of-care testing (RT-POCT) of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) for detecting acute kidney injury (AKI) and prognosis of critically ill patients. Methods A total of 249 critically ill patients in the emergency department (ED), who were diagnosed with acute decompensated heart failure, sepsis or diabetic ketoacidosis were ...
The type and the extent of tissue damage inform the prognosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but kidney biopsy is not a routine test. Urinary tests that correlate with specific histological findings might serve as surrogates for the kidney biopsy. We used immunoblots and ARCHITECT-NGAL assays to define the immunoreactivity of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in CKD, a...
The aim of the study was to determine the usefulness of interleukin 18 (IL-18) and neutrophil-gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) in the risk assessment of contrast nephropathy in children. The study included patients among whom radiological examinations were performed using intravascular contrast agent. The material consisted of 33 children (19 girls, 14 boys) aged 6.37 ±5.41 years. 20/33 (...
BACKGROUND Predicting acute renal failure in patients with severe sepsis is important, because patients may need renal replacement therapy (RRT). Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has been evaluated for its ability to detect and predict acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of plasma NGAL for acute renal failure in ...
INTRODUCTION Nephrotoxicity has been a concern with new dosing regimens of colistin. This study was designed to compare nephrotoxicity of high dose and conventional dose of colistin and the ability of detecting it using neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). MATERIALS AND METHODS A randomized clinical trial was carried out on 40 patients with multidrug-resistant gram-negative infe...
OBJECTIVE To determine whether neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) can predict worsening of global and renal disease activity in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS One hundred eleven patients with childhood-onset SLE were enrolled in a longitudinal, prospective study with quarterly study visits and had at least 3 study visits. At each visit, global disea...
