Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are very common bacterial infections in children. Early detection of renal parenchymal involvement in this setting can help clinicians make more effective treatment choices. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the ability of plasma and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL and uNGAL) levels, measured using an automated system, to accurately predict renal parenchymal involvement in children with febrile UTIs.
