CXCL1 and nephrotic syndrome: CXCL8, alongside with CXCL1, also known as growth-related oncogene-α (GRO-α), and CXCL6, also known as granulocyte chemotactic protein (GCP), were significantly higher in patients with nephrotic syndrome compared to controls and their levels decrease with remission, which could suggest that they play a role in the pathogenesis of nephrotic syndrome [112].
