Pilot study to assess the changes of NGAL molecule as a marker of warm ischemia after partial nephrectomy

Publication

Abstract

The aim of the study is to assess the changes of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) level over time in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy in relation to warm ischemia time (WIT). We are aware that postoperative function of the kidney is complex and apart from WIT it may be influenced by other parameters as well, but WIT is a modifiable factor.
