Urinary NGAL Ratio Is Not a Sensitive Biomarker for Monitoring Acute Tubular Injury in Kidney Transplant Patients: NGAL and ATI in Renal Transplant Patients
Figure 1
Urinary NGAL/creatinine ratios in transplanted patients versus other groups. Shown are the urinary NGAL/creatinine levels of the two control groups (healthy individuals with 2 () or 1 kidney ()) versus ICU patients with acute renal failure (ARF, 2 kidney ()) and transplanted patients without ATI (). Patients with acute renal failure had significantly higher urinary NGAL levels compared to the other groups ().
