[Investigation of CD68 positive monocytes/macrophage(CD68+ Mo/M phi) in urine and infiltrated tissue of various kidney diseases in children].

In order to investigate the participation of monocytes/macrophages(Mo/M phi) in the progression of various kidney diseases of children, Mo/M phi in urine and that infiltrating renal tissue were both measured as the number of CD68 positive Mo/M phi (CD68+ Mo/M phi), using anti-CD68 antibody. The number of CD68+ Mo/M phi infiltrating in one glomerulus was significantly higher in Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis(HSPN) (p < 0.01) in comparison with that in minimal change nephrotic syndrome(MCNS) (p < 0.
