Plasma Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Figure 3

Receiver-operating characteristic curve for cardiovascular events in model 1 and model 2. Model 1: BNP + hsCRP + UACR + Hb + eGFR + age. Model 2: Model 1 + plasma NGAL. BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; Hb, hemoglobin; NGAL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; UACR, urinary albumin creatinine ratio.
