Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether proteins secreted in urine differ between women with and without endometriosis. DESIGN:Laboratory study using human urine. SETTING:University-based laboratory. PATIENT(S):Women with and without endometriosis undergoing laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and curettage. INTERVENTION(S):Urine collection from women with and without endometriosis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Proteomic techniques and mass spectrometry to identify proteins secreted in the urine of women with and without endometriosis. RESULT(S):On average, 133 proteins were significantly different between women with and without endometriosis. Cytokeratin-19 was highly up-regulated in the urine of women with endometriosis. CONCLUSION(S):Cytokeratin-19 may be a valuable urinary biomarker for endometriosis.
