Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL), a biomarker of AKI associated with MAKI [10], was measured, and levels were significantly increased in infected nephrectomized mice (1KI) compared to control non-infected mice at days 5, 8, 11, and 14 post-infection. The gene discussed is LCN2; the disease is acute kidney injury.
