Plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin predicts renal tubulointerstitial injury in patients with IgA nephropathy

CONCLUSION: The pNGAL levels in patients with IgAN are positively correlated with the Lee and Oxford classifications of T scores. The level of pNGAL in IgAN patients is found to be a prominent indicator for identification of renal tubulointerstitial injury and perhaps this feature may make it a non-invasive predictor for progression of IgAN.PMID:37942929 | DOI:10.5414/CN111270
