However, NGAL concentrations in dogs with naturally occurring AKI or CKD rarely have been explored in detail. Hypothesis/Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate whether NGAL can serve as a useful biomarker in dogs with naturally occurring renal disease. Animals: Client-owned dogs with renal disease (57) and control dogs without any disease (12) were examined. Methods: Serum NGAL (sNGAL) and urine NGAL (uNGAL) concentrations were measured in each animal by a newly developed ELISA system. Demographic, hematologic, and serum biochemical data were recorded. Survival attributable to AKI and CKD was evaluated at 30 days and 90 days, respectively. Results: Serum and urine NGAL concentrations in azotemic dogs were significantly higher than in nonazotemic dogs and were highly correlated with serum creatinine concentration (P < .05). Among CKD dogs, death was associated with significantly higher sNGAL and uNGAL concentrations compared with survivors. Receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis showed that sNGAL was better than serum creatinine concentration when predicting clinical outcomes for CKD dogs (P < .05). The best cutoff point for sNGAL was 50.6 ng/mL, which gave a sensitivity and a specificity of 76.9 and 100%, respectively. Furthermore, dogs that had higher concentrations of sNGAL survived for a significantly shorter time. Conclusion: sNGAL is a useful prognostic marker when evaluating dogs with CKD. ? 2014 by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. |
