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
