NGAL Urine AKI Timing Sensitivity

Apply urine NGAL as an early AKI biomarker. NGAL rises within 2-12 hours of injury, 12-24 hours before creatinine elevation, with sensitivity 80-82% for AKI prediction.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.
