Biomarkers that can be used in the diagnosis of kidney injury are kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), also known as the chemokine CC motif ligand 2 (CCL2) [6,7,8]. The gene discussed is LCN2; the disease is injury.
