The Diagnostic Value of Soluble Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells for Patients with Acute Stone Pyelonephritis.

Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (sTREM-1) is a new biomarker that can be used for the diagnosis and monitoring of urinary system infections. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum sTREM-1 in patients with a diagnosis of acute stone pyelonephritis (ASP). This prospective study included 46 patients with a diagnosis of ASP and a control group of 23 individuals without urinary system infection.
