Urinary NGAL is a Potential Biomarker for Early Renal Injury in Insulin Resistant Obese Non-diabetic Children

Objective:Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is one of the new biomarkers for detecting acute renal injury. There are studies showing the relationship between NGAL and renal injury in obese children. The aim of this study was to investigate whether urinary levels of NGAL, kidney injur...

NGAL/Cr ratio was also significantly higher in the IR group compared to the control group (p=0.018).Conclusion:Obese pediatric patients with IR were shown to have elevated levels of u-NGAL, a marker of renal injury. u-NGAL examination may show early renal injury before development of diabetes.Semra ŞenDeniz Özalp KızılayFatma TaneliÇınar ÖzenPelin Ertanİpek ÖzunanRaziye YıldızBetül ErsoyGalenos Yayincilikarticlengalrenal injurychildkim-1insulin resistancePediatricsRJ1-570Diseases of the endocrine glands.
