The aim of this study was to define the expression of epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide-1 in severe reflux nephropathy in order to further understand the pathogenesis of reflux nephropathy

OBJECTIVES: Reflux nephropathy (RN) is recognised as a major cause of end stage renal failure in children and young adults. The histological findings of RN are tubular atrophy and interstitial monocyte infiltration. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) produced by tubular cells playing a pivotal role in the modulation of tubular cell growth, while monocyte chemotactic peptide-1 (MCP-1) is a more...
