METHODS OF ASSAYING URINARY NEUTROPHIL GELATINASE-ASSOCIATED LIPOCALIN (uNGAL) IN THE PROGNOSIS OF CADAVERIC KIDNEY TRANSPLANT FUNCTION IN A PATIENT, INCLUDING A PATIENT DIAGNOSED WITH DELAYED GRAFT FUNCTION (DGF), A METHOD OF ASSAYING uNGAL IN THE ASSESSMENT OF RISK OF DGF IN A PATIENT DIAGNOSED WITH EARLY GRAFT FUNCTION (EGF), AND RELATED KITS

摘要

A method of prognosticating cadaveric kidney transplant function in a patient; a method of prognosticating cadaveric kidney transplant function in a patient diagnosed with DGF; a method of assessing risk of DGF in a patient, who has been diagnosed with EGF; and a kit comprising at least one component for assaying urine from a patient for NGAL and instructions for assaying the urine for NGAL and assessing cadaveric kidney transplant function or risk of DGF in the patient.
