Figure 4From: Effect of glomerular filtration rate impairment on diagnostic performance of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and B-type natriuretic peptide as markers of acute cardiac and renal failure in chronic kidney disease patientsUrinary concentration and fractional excretion of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. Urinary concentration and fractional excretion of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients clustered in groups according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR; upper part) or according to plasma concentrations (lower part). Mean values and standard deviations are reported. The statistical significance of the differences versus the mean values in patients with GFR >90 ml/minute/1.73 m2 and versus the mean values in patients with the lowest blood concentrations of plasma NGAL are reported. *P < 0.05.Back to article page
