Urinary transforming growth factor-beta 1 in children with obstructive uropathy
Original language description
Aim: Obstructive uropathies (OU) in childhood constitute one of the major causes of chronic renal insufficiency. Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is considered to be the major fibrogenic growth factor. The aim of the present study was to investigate urinary TGF-beta 1 levels in children with obstructive and non-obstructive uropathies (NOU). Methods: This study involved 19 children with OU, 11 children with non-obstructive hydronephrosis and 21 healthy children. Urinary TGF-beta 1, proteinuria, microalbuminuria and urinary alpha 1-microglobulin were measured, and renal function was assesed. The results were statistically analyzed. Results: Mean urinary TGF-beta 1 concentrations in patients with OU were significantly higher than those withNOU (4.14 +/- 0.67 creatinine vs 1.80 +/- 1 0.24 pg/mmol creatinine, P < 0.05) and healthy controls (1.66 +/- 0.28 pg/mmol creatinine, P < 0.05). Positive correlations of urinary TGF-beta 1 concentrations with proteinuria (r = 0.87, P < 0
