Our study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as an effective real-time monitoring biomarker of renal function in patients with obstructive ureteral calculi presenting renal colic.
In this study, the possible effects of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms on ureteral stone disease in patients who were admitted to the emergency department with severe pain due to renal colic are examined.
