Results of commercial kit indicated that the OD of the urine samples from healthy dogs ranged from 0.042 - 0.521 (equivalent to 0.93 pg/mL - 159.6 pg/mL of calibrator NGAL protein), and that higher readings (0.384 - 2.396; 111.5 pg/mL - 785.6 pg/mL of the calibrator NGAL protein) were detected from renal failure dogs (Figure 3A, left panel). Here, LCN2 is linked to acute kidney injury.
