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

## Abstract We examined the correlation among the levels of urinary monocyte chemoattractant proteinβ1 (MCPβ1) and interleukinβ8 (ILβ8), hyperglycemia, and renal injuries in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy. The levels of urinary MCPβ1, ILβ8, protein excretion, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), s
## Abstract Because type IV collagen is synthesized by podocytes and mesangial cells, we investigated the relationship between levels of urinary type IV collagen (uIV) and renal injuries in patients with IgA nephropathy. uIV was measured by a highly sensitive oneβstep sandwich enzyme immunoassay pr

To investigate whether soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-~R), a marker of T cell activation, could be a useful marker of disease activity in Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). Methods. Soluble IL-2R levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. WG disease activity in 102 patients was a
