Is urine intercellular adhesion molecule-1 a marker of renal disorder in children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction? Context: Twenty-nine children with severe hydronephrosis (HN) were compared with 23 participants with mild HN and with 19 healthy peers. Urine ICAM-1/uCre levels were significantly higher in HN children than healthy controls (P<0.01), and in severe HN when compared with mild HN (p<0.05).

It seemed to us that uICAM-1 is a biomarker of renal disorder, and might have the potential to predict which patients will require surgery.
