Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Kidney Transplantation Is an Early Marker of Graft Dysfunction and Is Associated with One-Year Renal Function by Isabel Fonseca, José Carlos Oliveira, Manuela Almeida, Madalena Cruz, Anabela Malho, La Salete Martins, Leonídio Dias, Sofia Pedroso, Josefina Santos, Luísa Lobato, António Castro Henriques, Denisa Mendonça

“…Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) has been suggested as potential early marker of delayed graft function (DGF) following kidney transplantation (KTx). We conducted a prospective study in 40 consecutive KTx recipients to evaluate serial changes of uNGAL within the first week after KTx and assess its performance in predicting DGF (dialysis requirement during initial posttransplant week) and graft function throughout first year. …”
