چکیده
Transforming growth factorbeta1 (TGF-beta1) is the main modulator of the healing process after tissue injury. In the kidney, if TGF-beta1 release is not switched off, extracellular matrix components (ECM) are accumulated and tissue fibrosis occurs. Urinary TGF-beta1 levels reflect its renal production and it has been determined in various types of glomerular disease. In this review, a critical analysis of the different immunoassays that have been used for the measurement of TGF-beta1 in the urine is presented and the importance of the serial determination of urinary TGF-beta1 levels in patients with various types of renal disease is discussed.

Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), a multi-functional cytokine, is involved in regulating a variety of cellular activities and the serum/plasma TGF-beta1 level is altered with various diseases. However, most published reports have described adult patients, and so we investigated the clinical significance of serum TGF-beta1 level in pediatric patients. The diagnostic application of th...

BACKGROUND Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is the major profibrotic cytokine involved in many renal diseases, and urinary TGF-beta1 reflects intrarenal TGF-beta1 production. Urinary TGF-beta1 excretion is reported to be significantly increased in patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of losartan and amlodipine on p...
متن کاملImmunological measurement of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1) in blood; assay development and comparison.
Development of a new, sensitive immunoassay for measuring transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta1) is described and compared with four commercially available TGF-beta1 immunoassays. Preanalytical conditions were evaluated. The nonlinearity found in serum or plasma is due to masking of TGF-beta1 by binding proteins in blood. Mixing TGF-beta1 with latency-associated peptide or alpha2-macrogl...
متن کاملCirculating and urinary transforming growth factor beta1, Amadori albumin, and complications of type 1 diabetes: the EURODIAB prospective complications study.
OBJECTIVE Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 is overexpressed in diabetes as a consequence of hyperglycemia and the creation of early glycated end products and may be responsible for the characteristic structural renal changes associated with diabetes. We sought to examine the role of both urinary and circulating TGF-beta1 and its promoter Amadori albumin in the vascular complications of ty...

Abstract: Background and Aim: The increasing incidence of infertility is alarming. About 10-30% of infertility are classified as Unexplained Infertility (UI) which is not an absolute clinical condition. TGF-b1 is multifunctional cytokine and produced mainly by T regulatory (Treg) lymphocytes. This cytokine plays important roles in physiology of normal pregnancy. The association of Single...
