Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009135463A1] The invention relates to methods for detecting diseases of the excretory urinary tracts. The aim of the invention is to provide a method for detecting the existence of diseases of the excretory urinary tracts, which can be carried out non-invasively, thus allowing first indications of disease, e.g. in relation to the existence of renal calculi and/or inflammation (e.g. after urinary tract infections) of the excretory urinary tracts, to be rapidly and cost-effectively detected, in order to resolve e.g. microhaematuria caused by inflammation rapidly and cost-effectively. To achieve this, the presence or concentration of TFF-peptides is determined in the urine.
