BioPoroto Diagnostics logo

BioPorto's NGAL tests aid in the rapid risk assessment of acute kidney injury (AKI), providing clinicians with an additional data point to confidently initiate interventions earlier. A low NGAL value indicates a low risk of AKI, allowing for confident use of interventions such as fluids, diuretics, or nephrotoxic medications. Elevated NGAL values signal a high risk of developing AKI and can trigger nephrology consultations and interventions 2-3 days before serum creatinine rises. Meet the Experts - Stand 26 | Friday, October 17th | 10:30-11:00 Join us in the exhibit hall as three NGAL experts from two continents share their experience using an NGAL result to improve AKI management in their patients. Learn more about AKI, the NGAL biomarker, and The NGAL Test at www.bioporto.com
