Role of urinary levels of endothelin-1, monocyte chemotactic Peptide-1, and N-acetyl glucosaminidase in predicting the severity of obstruction in hydronephrotic neonates.

CONCLUSIONS: The urinary MCP-1/Cr ratio is significantly elevated in neonates with severe obstruction requiring surgical intervention. Based upon these results, urinary MCP-1/Cr may be useful in identification of severe obstructive hydronephrosis in neonates. PMID: 25324951 [PubMed - in process]
