Abstract

Background

Reflux nephropathy is the most serious complication of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). The aim of this study was to assess the role of urinary levels of neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL),kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and liver-type fatty-acid-binding protein (L-FABP) in the early diagnosis of reflux nephropathy in patients with VUR.

Methods

This study assessed 123 patients with primary VUR and 30 healthy children as a control group. The children were divided into five groups: Group A, patients with VUR and renal parenchymal scarring (RPS); Group B, patients with VUR and without RPS; Group C, patients with RPS and resolved VUR; Group D, patients with resolved VUR and without RPS; Group E, healthy reference group.

Results

Median urinary NGAL (uNGAL)/Creatinine (Cr) was significantly higher in patients with than those without RPS and the control group (p = 0.0001). Median uKIM-1/Cr was similar in all groups (p = 0.417). Median uL-FABP/Cr was significantly higher in patients with RPS than in the reference group (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Urinary NGAL levels may be used as a noninvasive diagnostic marker for predicting renal scarring in reflux nephropathy.
