Core Tip	This study investigates neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as a potential biomarker for neuropsychiatric complications in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Gu et al demonstrate that elevated NGAL levels at admission are associated with a higher risk of cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression. These findings are significant because such conditions, often overlooked, substantially impact post-stroke recovery and quality of life. This research broadens the understanding of NGAL’s functions beyond its established role as a biomarker for early kidney injury, emphasizing its relevance in neuroinflammation and neuropsychiatric processes.
