The dimer form is the major molecular form of free NGAL secreted by neutrophils and its overexpression is observed in blood cells from patients with all types of leukemia [33,34] We observed that urinary NGAL is an independent predictor of glomerular filtration (based on CKD-EPI formulas for eGFR) and holds associations with several established prognostic markers of tumor burden (FLCs, albumin, β2-microglobulin). Here, ALB is linked to leukemia.
