description: | About 25–50% of survivors of the acute phase of postdiarrheal hemolytic uremic syndrome (D+ HUS) develop chronic renal disease. Transforming growth factor β-1 (TGFβ-1) is the main fibrogenic growth factor in humans, and there is a significant correlation between its levels and the grade of interstitial fibrosis in chronic nephropathies. We hypothesized that increased urinary TGFβ-1 may be an early indicator of sequelae in D+ HUS patients who show no sign of renal damage as determined by conventional diagnostic tests. We therefore compared the levels of TGFβ-1 in urine collected from healthy controls (HC) ( n = 18) with that from patients with a past history of D+ HUS ( n = 39). We found that TGFβ-1 excretion was significantly higher ( p |
