Key result
Plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and serum cystatin C were evaluated for their predictive power in diagnosing kidney damage in Iranian patients.
Why the study?
Chronic kidney disease is a major public health threat, and early detection of kidney damage is needed to reduce disease burden.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
Population
Iranian patients
May inform kidney injury assessment in Iranian patients; leaves open broader diagnostic utility pending validation.
Background & Objective: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been recognized as a serious public health threat. The early detection of kidney damage in CKD is a useful way to reduce the disease burden. This study aimed to determine the power of Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C (Cys-C) to predict the kidney damage in Iranian patients.
