Serum neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin as a marker of renal function in hypertensive and normotensive patients with coronary artery disease

Abstract: Hypertension is associated with kidney injury as reflected by elevated serum NGAL and cystatin C. It is noteworthy that despite normal serum creatinine, eGFR is relatively low suggesting impaired renal function. Therefore, NGAL needs to be investigated as a potential early marker for impaired kidney function/kidney injury, especially in patients with another risk factor for kidney damage, namely coronary artery disease.

“…In our previous study, we reported that hypertensive patients had higher serum NGAL than normotensive ones. [28] The findings that diabetics had significantly higher baseline serum but not urinary NGAL may speak in favor of this explanation. A rise in NGAL, despite nonsignificant changes in creatinine, may be due to renal injury and/or an inflammatory component of NGAL.…”

“…The latter have shown that NGAL can be used as an early biomarker, for example, contrast-induced nep hropathy in patients with normal serum creatinine levels undergoing percutaneous coronary inter ventions, 12 kidney transplant recipients, 13 and hypertensive patients with coronary artery diseases. 14 These results show that NGAL has the potential for detecting kidney injury earlier than either serum creatinine or, perhaps, GFR estimation formulas that use static measurements of serum creatinine. In conclusion, it has been suggested that the discriminating ability of kinetic GFR is equal to that of biomarkers, such as urinary NGAL.…”

“…It has been shown previously that NGAL can be used for the diagnosis of acute renal injury [8,[20][21][22][23][24]. Haase et al showed that NGAL, measured 6 hours after patient admission, can be used as a marker to predict ARF [25].…”
