As most readers are probably aware, Mayo Clinic obtained the forst homebrew-approval for BioPorto’s NGAL ELISA kit in the US.
The approval was later redrawn as part of the ongoing discussions with the FDA (Food & Drug Agency ) regarding the automated test The NGAL Test.
I think its fair to say that Mayo Clinic is a world leader in research on AKI and other renal related injuries.
Today they released another study on the relationship between bariatric surgery and AKI

The number of patients developing AKI at the Mayo Clinic is interesting compared to thes reecnt study from Bangladesh
