Urinary chemokines as noninvasive predictors of ulcerative interstitial cystitis.
The Journal of urology ·doi:10.1016/j.juro.2012.01.034

PurposeBased on basic research findings an increase in chemokines and cytokines (CXCL-1 and 10, nerve growth factor and interleukin-6) is considered responsible for inflammation and afferent sensitization. In this cross-sectional study we t…
