Diagnostic marker for acute kidney injury

Lipopolysaccharide-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in rats is correlated with renal TNFα increase and injury and leads to an upregulation in neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) mRNA, potentially enabling early diagnosis of septic AKI with NGAL.

Abstract | Provisional PDF

Scope

BMC Nephrology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of kidney and associated disorders, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology, and epidemiology.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.

Quote

"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
