The kidney biomarker NGAL
Every year about 13 million people are struck by acute kidney injury worldwide,
of whom about 4 million die. Nevertheless, there has been no real progress in
methods of diagnosing kidney injury over the last half century. Existing
methods, such as serum creatinine determination, only signal kidney failure
24-72 hours after the injury has taken place. In contrast, NGAL rises to
diagnostic levels within a few hours of kidney injury and thus enables the
physician to make vital clinical decisions before the damage progresses to
potentially fatal renal shutdown. In addition to helping the patient,
cost-benefit analyses show that implementing NGAL testing will contribute to
reducing hospital costs in the management of kidney injury and its
consequences.
