Urine ratio of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin to creatinine as a marker for early detection of cisplatin-associated nephrotoxicity.

Abstract

Urine NGAL-creatinine ratio significantly increased in patients with cisplatin-associated AKI. Urine NGAL-creatinine ratio within the first 24 hours after cisplatin infusion may better predict cisplatin-associated nephrotoxicity than serum creatinine level.
