Although Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) has been implicated in a variety of pathologic conditions, its physiologic function still remains unclear. Several studies have shown conclusively that bacteria expressing mannose-sensitive (MS) fimbriae bind to THP and to THP-coated exfoliated uroepithelial cell

Endotoxin is a component of the outer membrane of gram-negative rods (GNR). Since GNR are responsible for the majority of urinary tract infection (UTI), we measured the concentration of endotoxin in urine using chromogenic endotoxin-specific assay and examined its diagnostic utility in patients with
