Biomarkers of Acute Renal Failure
Mayo Renal Laboratory Urinary NGAL Normals
August 2009
We have recently validated a urinary test for NGAL in the Mayo Clinic Renal Function Laboratory. As part of this effort, we have developed a reference range for NGAL amongst a group of normal, nonhospitalized individuals. Cutoffs for normal would be approximately 65 ng/mL, or 81 nanograms/gram creatinine.
