Objectives. To demonstrate the incidence of positive urinary nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) values associated with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) of the kidney. Currently, urinary NMP22 is used to detect recurrent transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.Methods. From May 1997 to March 1998, urinary NMP22 values were obtained from 65 patients who had undergone either computed tomography scanning of the abdomen or renal ultrasound. Of the 65, 32 presented with solid renal masses. These patients underwent radical or partial nephrectomy; subsequent pathologic examination revealed that 50 had RCC. Two patients had oncocytomas. The remaining 33 patients presented with blunt abdominal trauma or abdominal pain or for follow-up for a urologic problem (a kidney stone or benign renal cyst). These patients had no evidence of renal malignancy on imaging and were used as controls.Results. The urinary NMP22 values of patients with RCC were significantly higher than the values found in the control group (13.69 +/- 8.40 U/mL versus 3.03 +/- 2.70 U/mL, P
