Value of urinary levels of interleukin-6, epidermal growth factor, monocyte chemoattractant protein type 1 and transforming growth factor β1 in predicting the extent of fibrosis lesions in kidney biopsies of patients with IgA nephropathy

Value of urinary levels of interleukin-6, epidermal growth factor, monocyte chemoattractant protein type 1 and transforming growth factor β1 in predicting the extent of fibrosis lesions in kidney biopsies of patients with IgA nephropathy

Objective: To analyse the associations between urinary levels of IL-6 EGF, MCP-1 and TGFβ1 and clinical, biochemical and histopathological characteristics in patients with primary IgA nephropathy and their ability to predict the extent of lesions of glomerular and/or interstitial sclerosis. Patients...
