Abstract
⺠6.5% of primary care patients exhibit normal kidney testing but increased uNGAL. ⺠Urinary NGAL (uNGAL) concentrations vary according to age and gender. ⺠Creatinine (Cr) excretion accentuates gender and age difference in uNGAL/Cr ratio. ⺠uNGAL concentrations are dependent on liver cell integrity and inflammation. ⺠uNGAL reflects the different stages of the novel KDIGO CKD classification.
