Total protein, albumin, alpha1-microglobulin, and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were analyzed in 1,622 urine samples without Bence-Jones proteinuria or gross hematuria. There was correlation with the histological picture obtained on renal biopsy in 61 patients. We established 24-h reference intervals for alpha1-microglobulin and IgG on 659 urine samples with total protein and albumin excretion rates below 100 mg/24 h and 30 mg/24 h, respectively, and creatinine clearance above 80 ml/min. The central 95% reference interval was found to be between 4 and 17 mg/24 h for alpha1-microglobulin and between 3 and 8.5 mg/24 h for IgG. In 80 urine samples with albumin excretion rate above 30 mg/24 h and alpha1-microglobulin and IgG within their reference intervals, we analyzed the 95% central interval of the distribution of the IgG/albumin ratios, and it was found to be within 0.01 and 0.20 (0.90 confidence interval: 0.17-0.24). Proteinuria was considered to be of the selective glomerular type if the albumin excretion rate was abnormal and the IgG/albumin ratio was under 0.20, even when the IgG excretion was within a pathological range. For the classification of proteinuria as predominantly tubular, we estimated the alpha1-microglobulin/albumin ratio in 173 urine samples with normal excretion rates of albumin and IgG and pathological excretion of alpha1-microglobulin. The discriminating value of 0.91 (0.90 confidence interval: 0.78-1.08) was accepted in order to define proteinuria of a tubular origin in the presence of a pathological albumin excretion rate. The association between albumin and IgG excretion rates and tubular reabsorption of the alpha1-microglobulin normally filtered by the glomerulus was studied in 33 urine samples from patients with no histologically significant tubulo-interstitial or vascular disease and a serum creatinine concentration below 141 pmol/l. The optimal curve-fitting function between albumin plus IgG and alpha1-microglobulin excretion rates was of the quadratic type (r = 0.927). Mixed proteinuria was considered when both, albumin and alpha1-microglobulin excretion rates were pathological and could not be included in the previously described groups. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 is an important mediator in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Urinary TGF-beta1 reflects TGF-beta1 production in the kidney, and alpha1-microglobulin tubular dysfunction. These 2 markers were studied in the early phases of type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: There were 113 type 1 diabetic children and adolescents (mean +/- SD: age 14.1 +/- 2.9 years, and diabetes duration 7.4 +/- 2.9 years, HbA1c 9.3 +/- 1.5%) and 39 healthy subjects (age 13.8 +/- 2.8 years) who participated in the study. Of the diabetic patients, 105 were normoalbuminuric (2-3 consecutive overnight urinary albumin excretion rates [AERs] <20 microg/min) and 8 had microalbuminuria (at least 2 AERs 20-200 microg/min). Overnight urinary TGF-beta1 and alpha1-microglobulin levels were measured and the results expressed as the ratio to urinary creatinine concentration. RESULTS: Data are medians (range). Diabetic patients had higher urinary TGF-beta1 levels than those of control subjects: 0.9 ng/mg (0.05-122.3) vs. 0.3 ng/mg (0.05-2.2) creatinine, respectively (P = 0.003). Urinary TGF-beta1 levels correlated with urinary glucose (r = 0.2, P = 0.03) and alpha1-microglobulin (r = 0.2, P = 0.02) levels, but not with HbA1c, AER, age, or duration of diabetes. In 43 patients with urinary TGF-beta1 above the control levels, urinary TGF-beta1 levels correlated with urinary glucose (r = 0.6, P < 0.001) and alpha1-microglobulin (r = 0.6, P < 0.001) levels. Diabetic patients had higher urinary alpha1-microglobulin levels than those of control subjects: 4.8 microg/mg (0.6-48.8) vs. 2.7 microg/mg (0.8-11.6) creatinine, respectively (P < 0.001). Alpha1-microglobulin levels correlated with AER (r = 0.2, P = 0.02), HbA1c (r = 0.3, P = 0.001), urinary glucose (r = 0.5, P < 0.001), and urinary TGF-beta1 levels. CONCLUSIONS: An early rise in urinary TGF-beta1 levels was observed in young type 1 diabetic patients. Urinary TGF-beta1 is associated with 2 interrelated tubular markers, alpha1-microglobulin and urinary glucose. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Proteinuria is frequently encountered in patients in the intensive care unit, most likely as a result of renal tubular cell injury. It has been reported that gelatin-derived plasma substitutes contribute to an increase in renal protein excretion. The aim of this study was to investigate the magnitude and the mechanism of the proteinuric effect of Gelofusine, a modified gelatin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In six healthy male subjects, renal hemodynamics and urinary protein excretion were measured before and after infusion of 330 mL of Gelofusine. RESULTS: Gelofusine had a minor effect on blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate, effective renal plasma flow, and on urinary excretion of immunoglobulin, and albumin. In contrast, there was a major increase in the urinary excretion of the low-molecular-weight proteins beta2-microglobulin (from 0.06 +/- 0.04 to 43.52 +/- 11.75 microg/min; P <.01) and alpha1-microglobulin (from 11 +/- 8 to 72 +/- 24 microg/min; P <.01). The urinary excretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (beta-NAG) remained unchanged, suggesting that there was no significant renal tubular cell injury. CONCLUSIONS: When analyzing proteinuria in patients in the intensive care unit it should be considered that Gelofusine increases the urinary excretion of proteins, in particular those of low molecular weight. This effect is most likely due to competitive inhibition of tubular protein reabsorption. 相似文献

Several factors have been considered in relation to the free radical formation in schizophrenia, such as the disease itself, drug treatment and smoking. Several chemicals and drugs may cause damage to the renal tubules by different subcellular mechanisms including oxidative stress, and the aim of our study was the investigation of tubular dysfunction in schizophrenic patients. The urinary excretion of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase (Hex) and its isoenzymes Hex A and Hex B, alpha1-microglobulin, albumin, total proteins and fractionated porphyrins were determined in 45 schizophrenic patients treated with first- and second-generation antipsychotics. In 7 patients, an increase in proteinuria of tubular origin was found, and in one as a result of mixed glomerular/tubular origin. The group of patients had a significantly higher level of excretion than the control group (n = 54) of total Hex (p < 0.001), Hex A (p < 0.05), Hex B (p < 0.001) and the relative proportion of this isoenzyme (p < 0.001). In some cases with normal levels of total Hex and urinary alpha1-microglobulin, the proportion of Hex B was already increased. Significant correlations were found for total Hex and its isoenzymes with alpha1-microglobulin (p < 0.001). Also, the porphyrins had significant correlations with total Hex (p < 0.001), Hex A (p < 0.05), Hex B (p < 0.005) and alpha1-microglobulin (p < 0.001). In the group of patients studied, it was possible to reveal early tubular cell damage (affected structural integrity) with increased excretion of Hex B, possibly mediated by free radicals, previous to the decrease in tubular reabsorption of proteins with low molecular mass filtered by the glomerulus (affected functional integrity). 相似文献

We studied the pharmacokinetics and effects of recombinant human superoxide dismutase (rhSOD) in 32 normal human volunteers after intravenous bolus doses from 1 mg/kg to 45 mg/kg in a single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design. The drug was well tolerated. Neither cardiovascular nor renal function, such as the echocardiographically determined cardiac index, insulin or para-aminohippurate clearance, or the urinary excretion of beta 2-microglobulin or N-acetylglucosaminidase, was affected. Pharmacokinetic analysis by use of noncompartmental methods showed an overall half-life of rhSOD to be about 4 hours for doses from 3 mg/kg to 45 mg/kg. The peak concentrations ranged from 24 to 837 mg/L, and urinary excretion increased from 3% to 57% of total dose after single intravenous bolus administrations of the drug from 1 mg/kg to 45 mg/kg. The mean renal clearance of rhSOD initially increased with dose then plateaued at the highest dose, whereas the nonrenal clearance decreased with dose to a plateau; total clearance remained essentially constant. The progressive increase in renal clearance may be explained by saturation of the tubular reabsorption and degradation of the protein, a mechanism previously described in animal models. 相似文献

Prognostic value of tubular proteinuria and enzymuria in nonoliguric acute tubular necrosis 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

BACKGROUND: Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) has high mortality, especially in patients who require renal replacement therapy (RRT). We prospectively studied the diagnostic accuracy of the urinary excretion of low-molecular-weight proteins and enzymes as predictors of a need for RRT in ATN. METHODS: In 73 consecutive patients with initially nonoliguric ATN, we measured urinary excretion of alpha(1)- and beta(2)-microglobulin, cystatin C, retinol-binding protein, alpha-glutathione S-transferase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase early in the course of ATN. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients (36%) required RRT a median of 4 (interquartile range, 2-6) days after detection of proteinuria and enzymuria. Patients who required RRT had higher urinary cystatin C and alpha(1)-microglobulin [median (interquartile range), 1.7 (1.2-4.1) and 34.5 (26.6-45.1) g/mol of creatinine] than patients who did not require RRT [0.1 (0.02-0.5) and 8.0 (5.0-17.5) g/mol of creatinine]. Urinary excretion of cystatin C and alpha(1)-microglobulin had the highest diagnostic accuracies in identifying patients requiring RRT as indicated by the largest areas under the ROC curves: 0.92 (95% confidence interval, 0.86-0.96) and 0.86 (0.78-0.92), respectively. Sensitivity and specificity were 92% (95% confidence interval, 83-96%) and 83% (73-90%), respectively, for urinary cystatin C >1 g/mol of creatinine, and 88% (78-93%) and 81% (70-88%) for urinary alpha(1)-microglobulin >20 g/mol of creatinine. CONCLUSION: In nonoliguric ATN, increased urinary excretion of cystatin C and alpha(1)-microglobulin may predict an unfavorable outcome, as reflected by the requirement for RRT. 相似文献

A low molecular weight beta(2)-globulin (beta(2)-microglobulin), albumin, and total protein were measured in concentrated 24-hr urine specimens from 20 healthy subjects and 30 patients with clinical proteinuria of glomerular or tubular type. Classification of proteinuria was made on the basis of clinical diagnosis and size distribution of urinary proteins after gel chromatography. The molecular radii (Stokes' radii) of beta(2)-microglobulin and albumin, estimated by gel chromatography, were 15 A and 35 A.The average 24-hr urinary excretion in healthy subjects was 0.12 mg for beta(2)-microglobulin, 10 mg for albumin, and 80 mg for total protein. The patients with renal glomerular disorders had normal or only somewhat increased excretion of beta(2)-microglobulin, despite considerably increased excretion of albumin and total protein. Most of the patients with tubular dysfunction excreted large amounts of beta(2)-microglobulin, although they excreted normal or only slightly increased amounts of albumin and only moderately increased quantities of total protein. Consequently, the ratio or urinary albumin/urinary beta(2)-microglobulin was high in glomerular proteinuria (1100: 14,200), intermediate in normal proteinuria (33: 163), and low in tubular proteinuria (1.0: 13.3). Determinations of urinary clearances of beta(2)-microglobulin and albumin in four healthy subjects and 11 patients indicated that increased excretions of the two proteins were associated with increased clearances. The results suggest that quantitative determinations of urinary beta(2)-microglobulin and urinary albumin may be useful for detecting disorders of the renal handling of plasma proteins. The findings also seem to suggest a selective tubular reabsorption of the two proteins.Estimates on sera revealed a close correlation between serum levels of beta(2)-microglobulin and creatinine and also a greatly raised serum concentration of beta(2)-microglobulin after bilateral nephrectomy. 相似文献

Determination of urinary lysozyme for potential detection of tubular dysfunction in diabetic nephropathy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Seeking to study whether measurement of lysozyme (EC 3.2.1.17) in urine by a reliable radioimmunoassay can provide a suitable index of renal tubular function and how lysozymuria develops in temporal relation to proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy, we have compared the urinary excretion of lysozyme and beta 2-microglobulin with the 15-min excretion rate of phenolsulfonphthalein in 39 patients with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes and investigated the temporal relation between the onset of lysozymuria and proteinuria in 15 patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes. The concentrations of lysozyme and beta 2-microglobulin in urine increased in proportion to the decrease in the rate of excretion of phenolsulfonphthalein in these patients. The coefficient of correlation between lysozyme concentration and the 15-min excretion rate of phenolsulfonphthalein (r = -0.70) was higher than that between beta 2-microglobulin concentration and the 15-min excretion rate of phenolsulfonphthalein (r = -0.46). Abnormally high lysozymuria, suggesting the existence of tubular dysfunction, was demonstrated in six of the patients with Type 1 diabetes who showed no proteinuria or only a slight increase in urinary protein excretion. Lysozymuria may thus be added to a list of the indicators for diabetic nephropathy. 相似文献

The effect of renal function on enalapril kinetics 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Enalapril maleate (MK-421), a nonmercapto-containing angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is converted in vivo to enalaprilat (MK-422), the active diacid. We evaluated serum profiles and urinary excretion of oral enalapril maleate in patients with renal disease (group I, creatinine clearance less than 3 ml/min, patients undergoing dialysis, n = 10; group II, creatinine clearance 10 to 79 ml/min, n = 9) compared with healthy subjects (group III, creatinine clearance greater than 80 ml/min, n = 10). Group I received a 10 mg dose during a day while not receiving dialysis and a 10 mg dose 1 hour before dialysis 2 weeks later. Groups II and III received a single 10 mg dose. Blood samples and urine were collected for 48 hours. Impaired renal function resulted in elevated serum and plasma concentrations of enalapril maleate and decreased excretion rates and urinary recovery of enalapril maleate and enalaprilat. The data suggest an apparent increase in the extent of metabolism of enalapril maleate to enalaprilat or an increase in nonrenal elimination of unchanged enalapril maleate in renal disease compared with normal health. Enalaprilat was dialyzable. 相似文献

We examined whether the renal protective effect of the angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) is dose-related and associated with alterations in the urinary excretion of prostaglandin (PG) E2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, a stable breakdown product of prostacyclin. Enalapril maleate at 1.5, 5 and 15 mg/kg/day or vehicle was chronically administered to saline-drinking SHRSP (six per group) starting at 8.1 weeks of age. Vehicle-treated SHRSP developed severe hypertension, proteinuria and strokes (age at death, 14 +/- 1 weeks; mean +/- S.E.). Enalapril prolonged survival dose-dependently and reduced proteinuria; all SHRSP given 15 mg/kg/day lived beyond 23 weeks of age without evidence of stroke or proteinuria. There was no effect of enalapril at any dose on systolic arterial blood pressure in spite of variable levels of urinary protein excretion and onset of stroke in the different groups. Likewise, urinary 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and PGE2 excretion did not differ among the groups except for an increase in 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in the 15 mg/kg/day group at one week after initiation of enalapril therapy. These results are consistent with a dose-related renal protective action of enalapril in saline-drinking SHRSP that is not closely associated with sustained alterations in urinary excretion of renal vasodilatory PGs. 相似文献

Urinary excretion of albumin and beta-2-microglobulin was measured in nine hypertensive and nine normotensive renal transplant recipients and 10 healthy control subjects before and after an oral water load of 20 ml (kg body weight)-1 (study 1) and in eight hypertensive and 11 normotensive renal transplant recipients and 11 healthy control subjects during 24-h water deprivation (study 2). In both studies 1 and 2 urinary albumin excretion was significantly higher (p less than 0.01) in the hypertensive renal transplant recipients that in the normotensive patients and the control subjects (levels before loading; hypertensives: 23.9 micrograms/min (median), range 7.5-58.7; normotensives: 3.4 micrograms/min, range 1.0-49.3; controls: 2.9 micrograms/min, range 1.3-10.3). Urinary albumin excretion was significantly positive correlated to both systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure (for mean blood pressure: rho = 0.625, n = 18, p less than 0.01) in transplanted patients. Albumin excretion tended to increase after water loading and to decrease during water deprivation in all groups. Beta-2-microglobulin excretion was approximately the same in all groups in both studies 1 and 2 and was not correlated to blood pressure. During a follow-up period of at least 18 months, none of the renal transplant recipients developed signs of chronic graft failure. Increased urinary albumin excretion in hypertensive renal transplant recipients thus appears to be caused by increased glomerular permeability that may be due to glomerular damage induced by arterial hypertension corresponding to the findings in essential hypertension. 相似文献

We measured the renal and extrarenal synthesis of prostacyclin and thromboxane A2, as reflected by the urinary excretion of the stable hydration products 6-keto-prostaglandin F 1 alpha and thromboxane B2 and the corresponding 2,3-dinor-derivatives, during chronic administration of sulindac (200, 400, 600, and 800 mg/day, each dose given for 7 days in successive weeks) in seven healthy subjects. Urinary eicosanoids were measured by negative ion, chemical ionization-GC/MS-validated RIA techniques. Both 2,3-dinor-thromboxane B2 and 2,3-dinor-6-keto-prostaglandin F 1 alpha showed a dose-dependent reduction, ranging between 45% and 85%. In contrast, the urinary excretion of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha and thromboxane B2 did not change significantly throughout the study. These results extend previous observations of a selective sparing of renal cyclooxygenase activity by sulindac in humans and demonstrate that this selectivity is not related to an overall weaker enzyme inhibition. 相似文献

The effect of three cycles of high-dose cisplatin (40 mg/m2 day for 5 days) on renal tubular function was evaluated in 30 patients. A significant impairment of proximal tubular salt and water reabsorption rates was observed, but also distal tubular function seemed to be affected. These changes were also present 6 months after termination of treatment. Sodium and magnesium clearance increased significantly during treatment. Magnesium clearance normalized shortly after treatment but sodium clearance was significantly elevated 6 months after treatment. Proteinuria, albuminuria, and amino aciduria, together with an increase of beta 2-microglobulin and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) excretion rates, were observed during each treatment cycle. A good correlation was registered between the increase in urinary excretion rates of protein, NAG, and magnesium and the decrease in proximal tubular salt and water reabsorption during cisplatin administration. 相似文献

In an effort to establish a reliable programme for the clinical monitoring of renal involvement in patients with type-I diabetes mellitus, we quantified the urinary excretion of immunoglobulin G (IgG), transferrin (Tf), albumin (Alb), alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1MG), N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and total protein in 130 dipstick negative children and young adults with type-I diabetes. Eighty-five sex- and age-matched healthy persons served as a control group for the definition of the upper reference limits (95th centiles; micrograms min-1 1.73 m2): transferrin 1.4; albumin 16.6; total protein 27.1; NAG: 2.0 mU min-1 1.73 m2. Sex-related differences were detected for IgG (men: 3.8; women: 1.7) and alpha 1 MG (men: 6.0; women: 4.0 micrograms min-1 1.73 m2). The urinary excretion of IgG, Tf, alpha 1MG, NAG, and total protein was significantly higher in subjects with diabetes when compared to healthy controls (p < 0.01). Furthermore, 20 patients (15%) showed an elevated excretion of tubular markers (alpha 1MG and NAG), and 3 patients (2%) of at least two glomerular markers (Alb and/or Tf and/or IgG). Additionally, 18 individuals (14%) presented a mixed excretion pattern of both tubular and glomerular markers. These data suggest that the quantitation of both glomerular and tubular proteinuria provides a sensitive and cost-effective instrument for the non-invasive screening for renal involvement in patients with diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

We studied the rate of urinary excretion of albumin, alpha 1-microglobulin (as an indicator of the renal tubular involvement), sodium, potassium, and creatinine in the basal state (overnight urine collection) and after physical exercise (training session) in 10 professional cyclists, to verify whether protein excretion is increased even in well-trained athletes after physical effort. In addition, we wanted to understand whether the origin of exercise-induced proteinuria was glomerular, tubular, or both. Compared with the basal state (overnight collection), exercise significantly (P less than 0.01) increased the excretion rate of albumin (4.2 +/- 2.6 micrograms/min vs 18.1 +/- 10.6 micrograms/min, mean +/- SD), Na, and K, and also the urinary volume. Creatinine output was not affected by exercise. The mean (+/- SD) overnight excretion rate of albumin by athletes was quite similar to that found for 91 healthy nonathletes at rest (4.6 +/- 2.7 micrograms/min). The mean exercise-related excretion of alpha 1-microglobulin by the athletes significantly exceeded the overnight value (6.6 vs 0.3 mg/L, P = 0.037). Our study indicates that (a) albuminuria furnishes the greater contribution to the increase in exercise-induced proteinuria; (b) the exercise proteinuria is both glomerular and tubular in origin, and is reversible; (c) the enhanced protein requirement of athletes may in part be due to the recurrent excretion of proteins in the urine after physical effort. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Inflammation-associated proteinuria in acute, nonrenal disease is a common but poorly understood phenomenon. We performed an observational study of the urinary excretion of orosomucoid (alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein), albumin, alpha(1)-microglobulin (protein HC), and IgG to obtain quantitative and temporal data on these 4 proteins. METHODS: Urine samples were collected at daily intervals for up to 23 days from 6 patients with surgery-induced inflammation and at hourly intervals for a 24-h period from 7 sepsis patients. Urinary protein concentrations were assessed by immunoturbidimetry. RESULTS: During surgery-induced inflammation, the increase and decrease in orosomucoid excretion mirrored changes in plasma C-reactive protein. Values for all 4 urinary proteins were increased in sepsis patients. The observed maximum increases in urinary protein excretion relative to the upper reference values were 280-fold for orosomucoid, 98-fold for alpha(1)-microglobulin, 33-fold for albumin, and 26-fold for IgG. CONCLUSIONS: Orosomucoid, usually present in plasma and urine in much lower concentrations than albumin, is increased in urine to concentrations equal to or higher than albumin in proteinuria associated with acute inflammation. The pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible for this markedly increased excretion are unknown. Monitoring of urinary excretion of orosomucoid and other specific proteins, expressed as protein/creatinine ratios, may provide a window for clinically relevant real-time observation of changes in acute inflammatory processes. Orosomucoid in urine may be a more informative marker than albumin for inflammation. 相似文献

1. To examine whether or not atrial natriuretic peptide-induced proteinuria simply results from increases in urine flow or glomerular filtration rate, we infused dopamine (1 microgram min-1 kg-1) and alpha-human atrial natriuretic peptide (0.025 microgram min-1 kg-1) into nine patients with chronic glomerulonephritis and nine essential hypertensive patients without renal damage, and compared the effects of the two agents on renal function and urinary protein excretion. 2. In patients with chronic glomerulonephritis, dopamine infusion significantly increased urinary sodium excretion (+59%), renal blood flow (+20%) and creatinine clearance (+14%). However, urinary protein excretion was not changed. Addition of atrial natriuretic peptide to the dopamine infusion further increased urinary sodium excretion and maintained creatinine clearance at the same level. In contrast to the infusion of dopamine alone, atrial natriuretic peptide markedly increased urinary protein excretion (77 versus 229 mg min-1 m2, P less than 0.02). Furthermore, the addition of atrial natriuretic peptide elevated the urinary protein/creatinine ratio (1.55 versus 5.35, P less than 0.05), while dopamine alone did not (1.55 versus 1.45, not significant). 3. In essential hypertensive patients, dopamine and dopamine plus ANP showed renal effects similar to those of chronic glomerulonephritis; however, the urinary excretion of protein was not changed significantly. 4. These results suggest that atrial natriuretic peptide may increase urinary protein excretion mainly by increasing the permeability of the damaged glomeruli to protein rather than by simply increasing urine flow or glomerular filtration. Possible mechanisms underlying the proteinuria-increasing effects of atrial natriuretic peptide are discussed. 相似文献

Effect of renal insufficiency on the concentration of free retinol-binding protein in urine and serum 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The concentration of retinol-binding protein (RBP) in urine was determined in 20 healthy individuals and 119 patients with various renal diseases involving tubular or glomerular dysfunction. The sera from 4 healthy individuals and 33 patients were chromatographed on Sephadex G-75 to measure the concentration of free (i.e. not prealbumin-bound) RBP. In healthy individuals, the mean concentration of free RBP in serum was 5.8 mg/l and represented 14% of total RBP; the renal clearance and the fractional tubular uptake of free RBP averaged 0.032 ml/min and 99.97%, respectively. In patients, the concentration of free RBP and the percentage of free RBP in serum were on logarithmic scales inversely correlated with the endogenous creatinine clearance (r = -0.80 and -0.76) and increased in parallel with the serum creatinine (r = 0.67 and 0.66) and beta 2-microglobulin concentrations (beta 2-m, r = 0.76 and 0.89). The semi-logarithmic plot of urine versus serum concentration of free RBP suggests a renal threshold for the tubular reabsorption of this protein at a concentration of about 25 mg/l in serum. The existence of this threshold is confirmed by the relationship between urinary RBP and serum beta 2-m showing that urinary excretion of RBP is invariably high when the serum level of beta 2-m exceeds 5 mg/l. The latter value corresponds precisely to the renal threshold for the tubular reabsorption of beta 2-m. The corresponding value for free RBP derived from the relationship between both proteins is 24 mg/l.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Proteinuria in newly diagnosed type II diabetic patients 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Urinary excretion of albumin, IgG, and beta 2-microglobulin was examined in 132 (69 men, 63 women) newly diagnosed, middle-aged type II diabetic patients and in 144 (62 men, 82 women) nondiabetic control subjects. Both male (N = 57) and female (N = 29) diabetic patients with normal urinary sediment showed an increased excretion of albumin compared with the respective nondiabetic subjects, and male diabetic patients also had an increased IgG excretion. No consistent difference was found in urinary beta 2-microglobulin concentration between the diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. In all, 19.5% of the diabetic subjects with normal urinary sediment (12 men, 5 women) showed urinary albumin concentration exceeding the highest value (35 mg/24 h) found in nondiabetic subjects without renal disease. The urinary excretion of albumin in the diabetic subjects was not associated with the presence of hypertension or coronary heart disease or with the fasting blood glucose or serum insulin levels measured at diagnosis of diabetes. In male diabetic subjects with urinary albumin excretion greater than 35 mg/24 h, a reduced creatinine clearance was found, suggesting the presence of structural damage associated with diabetic nephropathy. The early increase of urinary albumin excretion in type II diabetic patients may be mostly functional in nature. However, some patients may have structural renal damage associated with diabetic nephropathy present at diagnosis. 相似文献
