Measurement of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients with non-communicable diseases: any additional benefit?
NGAL level is best associated with serum creatinine only in patients with CKD and NGAL measurement may not be cost effective as a routine kidney function test in NCD patients in under-resourced economies.
Endoscopic resection using the retroauricular approach is feasible for various benign upper neck masses when conducted by an experienced endoscopic surgeon, with excellent cosmetic results.
