The Urinary Concentrations of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin, Cystatin C and Osteopontin in the Healthy Term and Stable Preterm Neonates: A Pilot Study.

Prematurity in stable, Caucasian neonates might cause higher osteopontin and cystatin C excretion, but not NGAL. The excretion of NGAL and cystatin C, but not osteopontin, may change during first weeks of premature neonate's life.
