Serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and cystatin C is associated with blood pressure in ex-preterm children and adolescents
WCH is common in ex-preterm children and adolescents and is associated with higher NGAL levels and CysC presents positive association with cSBP. The findings in this study provides preliminary evidence that NGAL and CysC may have a role in predicting the risk of developing hypertension later in life. Further studies are warranted.
