The number of patients diagnosed as HCC with AFP < 200 ng/ml when using urine NGAL at level ≥ 1255 pg/mL was 15 while the number of patients diagnosed as HCC with AFP ≥ 200 ng/ml when using urine NGAL at level ≥ 1255 pg/mL was 21 showing no significant difference at that cutoff value for AFP (p= 0.638). Here, AFP is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
