Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin Accurately Detects Acute Allograft Rejection Among Other Causes of Acute Kidney Injury in Renal Allograft Recipients

Abstract

Urinary NGAL, at respective cut-off, accurately discriminates acute allograft rejection from other causes of AKI in follow-up after kidney transplantation. As a readily available parameter, urinary NGAL may guide differential diagnosis and initial therapy in allograft recipients with AKI.
