NGAL, also known as lipocalin 2, is a stress protein located on the cell surface that is known for its involvement in iron transport. This study is aimed to evaluate the correlation between the iron profile and NGAL concentration in serum among chronic kidney disease patients under dialysis in order to find its diagnostic value with regards to iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). 47 patients under chronic haemodialysis in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and 15 healthy controls were evaluated to determine the correlation between serum NGAL concentration and IDA characteristics. Our results recorded a significant correlation between IDA (TSAT &lt; 20%) and NGAL serum concentration with a Spearman’s coefficient of 0.314. Serum NGAL was also significantly related to serum ferritin, TIBC, uric acid, creatinine and blood sugar whereas, an inverse relationship with albumin, total cholesterol and LDL. Our study reports a positive correlation between IDA and serum NGAL levels in CKD patients.
