Using a quantitative sandwich ELISA, we studied 17 patients with IgA nephropathy to determine if levels of urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) might reflect the disease activity. The levels of urinary MCP-1 in patients with the advanced stage were significantly higher than those in pa
The levels of serum interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in patients with IgA nephropathy. The aim of the present study was to determine if levels of serum IL-2R might correlate with disease activity in patients with IgA nephropathy. Twenty-eight p
