    Abstract: A method of determining the presence, amount or concentration of at least one autoantibody that reacts with neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), alone or in further combination with a method of determining the concentration of NGAL, which methods can further comprise diagnosing, prognosticating, or assessing the efficacy of a therapeutic/prophylactic treatment of a patient and, optionally, modifying the therapeutic/prophylactic treatment of the patient as needed to improve efficacy; a kit comprising at least one component for assaying a test sample for at least one autoantibody that reacts with NGAL and instructions for assaying; a method of isolating an autoantibody that reacts with NGAL; an isolated autoantibody that reacts with NGAL; and a method for determining the reliability of an NGAL assay result.

    Abstract: The invention provides among other things methods and kits based on assaying for cardiac troponin autoantibodies, either in conjunction with an assay for cardiac troponin and/or as an independent indicator of cardiac pathology, such as myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, and/or ischemic heart disease. Assay methods of the invention can be employed among other things to identify cardiac pathology, or risk thereof, in subjects who have an autoimmune disease or who are related to an individual with an autoimmune disease. In particular embodiments, the invention also provides a method of determining whether a subject having, or at risk for, a cardiac pathology is a candidate for immunosuppressive therapy or immunoabsorption therapy. The invention also provides kits and kit components that are useful for performing the methods of the invention.
