Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is a common, life-threatening complication in
hospitalized and critically ill patients. S-AKI increases in-hospital mortality 6-fold to 8-fold, 1 …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common syndrome that is independently associated with
increased mortality. A standardized definition is important to facilitate clinical care and …

Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), also known as oncogene 24p3,
uterocalin, siderocalin or lipocalin 2, is a 24kDa secreted glycoprotein originally purified …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that, without diagnostic changes
in serum creatinine, increased neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels …

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains associated with high morbidity and mortality,
despite progress in medical care. Although the RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-Stage …

Background The early prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) by current clinical and
laboratory methods remains inadequate. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) …

For many years, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has been considered the
most promising biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI). Commercial assays and point-of-care …

Purpose Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs in critically ill patients and often
precipitates use of renal replacement therapy (RRT). However, the ideal circumstances for …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is strongly associated with increased morbidity and mortality in
critically ill patients. Efforts to change its clinical course have failed because clinically …

Rationale: Measured at intensive care unit admission (ICU), the predictive value of
neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) for severe acute kidney injury (AKI) is …
