Urinary Measurement of Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin and Kidney Injury Molecule-1 Helps Diagnose Acute Pyelonephritis in a Preclinical Model
Figure 1
Time course changes of the three urinary biomarkers during the acute and chronic phase of APN. Compared to control (empty circles), significantly higher levels were noted in APN group (filled circles) at two and seven days of NGAL/Cr and two days of Kim-1/Cr. In contrast, no significant difference was noted in urinary IL-18/Cr during the period of study.
