A method and kit for detecting the immediate or early onset of renal disease and injury, including renal tubular cell injury, utilizing NGAL as an immediate or early on-set biomarker in a sample of blood serum. NGAL is a small secreted polypeptide that is protease resistant and consequently readily detected in the blood serum following renal tubule cell injury. NGAL protein expression is detected predominantly in proximal tubule cells, in a punctuate cytoplasmic distribution reminiscent of a secreted protein. The appearance NGAL in the serum is related to the dose and duration of renal ischemia and nephrotoxemia, and is diagnostic of renal tubule cell injury and renal failure. NGAL detection is also a useful marker for monitoring the nephrotoxic side effects of drugs or other therapeutic agents.

An early-onset method and kit for detecting renal tubular cell injury, using NGAL as an early urinary biomarker. NGAL is a small secreted polypeptide that is protease resistant and thus readily detected in urine following tubular cell injury. NGAL protein expression was mainly detected in the proximal tubule cells, which resembled a secreted protein with a punctate distribution in the cytoplasm. Apparent NGAL in urine correlates with the amount and duration of renal ischemia and nephrotoxicemia and is a diagnostic feature of tubular cell injury and renal failure. NGAL detection is also a useful marker for monitoring nephrotoxic side effects of drugs or other therapeutic agents.
