Elevated urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis

Chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) has been proved as a potential urinary biomarker in nephropathies. The aim of this study was to investigate the urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) levels and clinical significance in Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) children with and without nephritis and determine the association of MCP-1 with proteinuria.
