Clinical significance of determination of changes of serum hyaluronic acid (HA) and plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) contents after treatment in patients with chronic nephropathy
Description
Objective: To investigate the changes of serum HA and plasma VEGF levels after treatment in patients with chronic nephropathy. Methods: Serum HA contents were determined with RIA and plasma VEGF with ELISA in 38 patients with chronic nephropathy both before and after treatment as well as in 35 controls. Results: Before treatment the serum HA and plasma VEGF levels were significantly higher in the patients than those in the controls (P<0.01). After 6 months of treatment, the levels remained significantly higher (P<0.05). Conclusion: Development of chronic nephropathy was closely related to the serum HA and plasma VEGF levels. (authors)
