Urinary levels of epidermal growth factor, interleukin‐6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 may act as predictor markers of renal function outcome in immunoglobulin A nephropathy

Abstract

Urinary MCP-1, IL-6 and EGF levels may represent histology in IgAN. EGF excretion can be a predictive marker and its serial measurements may give information about disease outcome and the effect of treatment.
