ABSTRACT
The sociological relevance of social representations of the health-disease process lies in the fact that they underlie the various participants' practices and attitudes, as well as the relations they establish with their social context and the health events that affect them.

Abstract. We investigated the serum and urine chemokine levels of patients with schistosomal mansoni glomerulonephritis. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Southeast of Brazil. Overall, 160 subjects were enrolled and divided into five groups: 1) hepatosplenic schistosomiasis with renal disease (N = 12); 2) hepatosplenic schistosomiasis without renal disease (N = 68); 3) hepatointestinal schistosomiasis (N = 27); 4) glomerulopathy caused by other diseases (N = 22); and 5) healthy controls (N = 31). The patients with microalbuminuria 30 mg in 24 hours were considered to have renal disease. The sera and urine chemokines CCL2, CCL3, CCL5, CCL11, and CXCL8 were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test. A similar profile was observed between the patients with schistosomal glomerulopathy and the patients with glomerulopathy caused by other diseases, with the exception of serum CCL2 634.3 pg/mL. In cases with sera CCL2 634.3 pg/mL, the diagnosis of schistosomal glomerulopathy should be considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
