Abstract:
Importance: Extracellular matrix proteins and enzymes involved in degradation have been found to be associated with tissue fibrosis and ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). In this study we developed a promising urinary biomarker model which can identify reduced renal function in UPJ obstruction patients. This can potentially serve as a non-invasive way to enhance surgical decision making for patients and urologists. Objective: We sought to develop a predictive model to identify UPJO patients at risk for reduced renal function. Design: Prospective cohort study Setting: Pre-operative urine samples were collected in a prospectively enrolled UPJO biomarker registry at our institution. Urinary MMP-2, MMP-7, TIMP-2, and NGAL were measured as well as clinical characteristics including hydronephrosis grade, differential renal function, t1/2, and UPJO etiology. Participants: Children who underwent pyeloplasty for UPJO Main outcome measurement: Primary outcome was reduced renal function defined as MAG3 function
