- Abstract
The article discusses the use of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) tests in the prediction and diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI). NGAL is noted to be the most promising and best-studied biomarker of AKI which is easily detected in blood and urine due to small size and degradation resistance.
