Urinary nerve growth factor level is increased in patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome and decreased in responders to treatment

Liu H-T et al. - Patients with IC/BPS had greater urinary NGF/Cr levels than controls. A decrease of urinary NGF level was associated with greater pain reduction and a successful response, suggesting that urinary NGF levels can be a useful biomarker for detecting the severity of the bladder condition in patients with IC/BPS.
