Prognostic Utility of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Predicting Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated With Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Summary of "Prognostic Utility of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Predicting Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated With Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention."
The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in a large population of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Lipocalin 1
A lipocalin that was orignally characterized from human TEARS. It is expressed primarily in the LACRIMAL GLAND and the VON EBNER GLANDS. Lipocalin 1 may play a role in olfactory transduction by concentrating and delivering odorants to the ODORANT RECEPTORS.
Neutrophil Activation
The process in which the neutrophil is stimulated by diverse substances, resulting in degranulation and/or generation of reactive oxygen products, and culminating in the destruction of invading pathogens. The stimulatory substances, including opsonized particles, immune complexes, and chemotactic factors, bind to specific cell-surface receptors on the neutrophil.
Infant Mortality
Postnatal deaths from BIRTH to 365 days after birth in a given population. Postneonatal mortality represents deaths between 28 days and 365 days after birth (as defined by National Center for Health Statistics). Neonatal mortality represents deaths from birth to 27 days after birth.
Fetal Mortality
Number of fetal deaths with stated or presumed gestation of 20 weeks or more in a given population. Late fetal mortality is death after of 28 weeks or more.
Evaluation Studies
Works consisting of studies determining the effectiveness or utility of processes, personnel, and equipment.

Prognostic value of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in acute heart failure.
The identification of patients at risk for worse outcome is still a challenge. We hypothesized that cystatin C, a marker of renal function, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a mar...
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a measure of acute kidney injury. Renal dysfunction portends significant risk after discharge from acute heart failure (AHF). Thus, a sensitive mar...
The purpose of this study was to determine the association between neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in community-dwelling older adult...
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, or NGAL, an acute phase protein, is part of the lipocalin family. NGAL is highly induced in inflammatory conditions and ischemia, and is a critical componen...

Neutrophile Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin Evaluation in Septic Acute Kidney Injury
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major organ failure in septic shock. Current medical tests (serum creatinine and urea) cannot identify AKI until approximately 48 hours after it occurs. Neut...
Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin (NGAL) Evaluation in Emergency Department (ED) All-Comers
This study is to evaluate the NGAL point of care device as an aid in the early risk assessment of AKI (acute kidney injury)in an All-Comers ED population.
Sensitivity and Specificity of NGAL in an Emergency Room Population
Hypothesis: In patients that present to an urban emergency room, a single urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) measurement can classify their kidney disease as stable ch...
