The NGAL Test™is a particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay for the quantitative determination of NGAL in human urine or EDTA plasma on automated clinical chemistry analyzers.
NGAL is a novel biomarker for the acute kidney injury (AKI)
NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, lipocalin-2, siderocalin) is a small protein expressed in neutrophils and certain epithelia, including the renal tubules. Renal expression of NGAL is dramatically increased in kidney injury from a variety of causes, and NGAL is released into both urine and plasma. NGAL levels rise within 2 hours of the insult, making NGAL an early and sensitive biomarker of kidney injury.
