Table 1 Demographic and clinical data, from 57 kidney allograft recipients (Tx group), 40 uraemic patients (uraemic controls) and 14 healthy controls, at baseline before transplantation.

From: Plasma neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) is associated with kidney function in uraemic patients before and after kidney transplantation
