Alteration of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as a predictor of tacrolimus-induced chronic renal allograft fibrosis in tacrolimus dose adjustments following kidney transplantation.

Alteration of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as a predictor of tacrolimus-induced chronic renal allograft fibrosis in tacrolimus dose adjustments following kidney transplantation.

Despite tacrolimus (TAC) drug-level monitoring, TAC-induced chronic renal allograft fibrosis remains an important problem. This study investigated the potential of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) as a chronic renal allograft fibrosis biomarker in a two-phase study (proof o...
