✦ Synopsis

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 patients with the mild stage of the disease, or in healthy controls. The results showed a significant correlation between the levels of urinary MCP-1 and the disease activity, i.e., levels of urinary casts and urinary protein. It was thus suggested that the measurement of urinary MCP-1 is useful in evaluating the degree of renal injuries and/or prognosis in patients with IgA nephropathy.
