…plain why several recruitment signals can overlap during an inflammatory episode. A CCL5 marker cannot identify the trigger on its own. A question to bring to your visit Which symptoms, exposures or diagnoses give this recruitment pathway a…

…r connects this recruitment pathway with renal and vascular inflammatory injury. The lesson is to ask where inflammation is occurring and why, because infection and other inflammatory triggers can involve the same signal. A DNA variant and …
