Completed

In brief

Hypothesis: In patients that present to an urban emergency room, a single urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) measurement can classify their kidney disease as stable chronic kidney disease, acute tubular necrosis, urinary outlet obstruction or pre-renal azotemia.
