Objective: To evaluate the role of urinary Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP1) and urinary epidermal growth factor (EGF) in diagnosing of upper urinary tract obstruction (UUTO).
Patient and methods: Over a period of 6 months (January 2022 to June 2022) this prospective case control comparative study was conducted on 120 participants, 60 of them with UUTO and 60 healthy controls. A morning urine sample of all participants was tested for EGF and MCP-1. after taking a detailed history taking and laboratory and radiological evaluation.
Results: Urinary MCP-1(uMCP-1) was significantly (p-value = 0.000) increased in UUTO group showing a mean ± SD of 518.10 ± 51.19 ng/L compared to a mean ± SD of 143.32 ± 58.03 ng/L in the controls, whereas a significantly (p-value = 0.000) decrease of urinary EGF (uEGF) was observed in patients with UUTO compared to control group. A significant difference of uEGF level and uEGF/uMCP1 ratio was observed between mild compared to moderate/severe UUTO.
Conclusions: Utilization of the urinary biomarker MCP1, EGF and uEGF/uMCP1 ratio in patients with UUTO can adequately be used as a simple, efficacious and noninvasive way in diagnosis of UUTO.
