Children with CRF had a significantly lower daily urine EGF concentration as well as urinary EGF/ Cr. In contrast, children with kidney disease and normal renal function had normal daily urine EGF levels and urinary EGF/Cr. Accompanied by no difference in serum EGF between these two groups of patients, these data provide indirect evidence of the kidney as a source of human urinary EGF. There was a positive correlation of urinary EGF /Cr with creatinine clearance in all renal patients (r = 0. 608, n = 30, p < 0.001). A much better correlation was found between daily urine EGF and creatinine clearance (r = 0.855 , n = 30, p < 0.001). Our results implicate that there is a functional relationship between glomerular filtration and urinary EGF excretion, and that the urinary EGF/Cr may be a reliable indicator of urinary EGF excretion in children with CRF. |
