Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of treatment regimens in subjects in the context of renal artery stenosis (RAS). In particular, the invention relates to using assays that detect NGAL, their use to diagnose RAS in subjects suffering from hypertension, and their use in prognosis, particularly of mortality and worsening renal function.
