Can neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin help depict early contrast material-induced nephropathy?
To evaluate the utility of serum and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in depicting an event of contrast material-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients who received iodinated contrast media, gadoterate meglumine, or radiopharmaceutical technetium-99m ((99m)Tc) and to evaluate the protective effect exerted by isotonic saline infusion, sodium bicarbonate administration, or N-acetylcysteine administration. ⋯ http://radiology.rsna.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1148/radiol.12120578/-/DC1.
