We measured urinary excretion of L-type fatty acid binding protein (LFABP) in preterm neonates on days 1, 5-10, and 25-30 of life. Urinary L-FABP levels (expressed as the ratio to creatinine) in preterm neonates were considerably higher than those of healthy adults. They did not change significantly during the study period. Urinary L-FABP levels showed significant positive correlation with those of urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase activity on day 1, and with those of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine on days 25-30. These results suggest that L-FABP is expressed in the neonatal kidney. Our results may also point to potential effects of proximal tubular damage and oxidative stress on urinary excretion of L-FABP.
