Value of Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin versus Conventional Biomarkers in Predicting Response to Treatment of Active Lupus Nephritis

Table 7

Cutoff levels for three-month follow-up UNGAL and conventional biomarkers in predicting renal response to induction.

Variable	AUC	Cutoff point	Sensitivity	Specificity	PPV	NPV
Creatinine	0.966	1.3 mg/dL	92.31	96.3	92.3	96.3
eGFR	0.979	51 mL/min/1.73 m^2	92.3	92.6	85.7	96.2
UNGAL	0.966	17.4 ng/mL	92.3	96.3	92.3	96.3

eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; UNGAL, urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin.
