In chronic kidney disease, these markers reveal a late stage of kidney damage, when drug therapy is not always effective and the process of kidney damage is irreversible. In recent years, special attention has been paid to the search for predictors of acute and relapses of chronic renal damage, which could lead to the detection of premorbid pathological changes in the kidneys, to determine the nature and differentiate the defeat of various parts of the nephron, to establish the stage of the process, to assess the severity of inflammation and the intensity of fi brogenesis. One of these early markers is NGAL are investigated.NGALu-NGALacute renal injuryNGALu-NGALострое почечное повреждение[1. Kjeldsen L., Johnsen A.H., Sengeløv H., Borregaard N.
