What is the Clinical Significance of NMP22 Levels?
Elevated NMP22 levels in the urine can be an indicator of bladder cancer, particularly in patients who exhibit symptoms such as blood in the urine or frequent urination. However, elevated levels should be interpreted with caution and in the context of other diagnostic findings. A positive NMP22 test result often leads to further testing to confirm the presence of cancer and to determine its stage and grade.
