Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin is an early marker of renal damage in lower urinary tract obstruction in rats.

CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that urinary NGAL levels might be an early biomarker for renal dysfunction in partial bladder outlet obstruction which may cause renal impairment through upper urinary tract injury.Therefore, urinary NGAL may play role during the treatment choice and follow-up in BOO patients.
