... of the plasma haemoglobin is bound to haptoglobin which has a molecular weight of about 85,000 with an electrophoretical mobil­ ity of an a2-globulin fraction [12], which is not filterable by the renal glomerulus. Not until the haemoglobin-binding capacity of the plasma, normally equivalent to about 75 mg°/o...

...Stefano Cutillo; Tullio Meloni The serum levels of haptoglobin (Hp) and hemopexin (Hx) have been investigated in favism and thalassemia. In 25 children with favism, Hp was absent in 22 and both Hp and Hx in 7 cases. In 45 children with Cooley’s anemia, Hp was absent in 13 and Hx in 37 cases. In 25...

... and haptoglobin showed no or little differences between either of the two groups and the controls. The findings confirm the authors’ assumption expressed elsewhere that this form of hyperbilirubinemia is not hemolytic in nature. 3 3 2009 © 1975 S. Karger AG, Basel 1975 Copyright / Drug Dosage...

...Paolo G. Gobbi; Giampaolo Merlini; Giuseppe Attardo Parrinello; Paola Cavalli; Edoardo Ascari 107 determinations of α 1 -acid-glycoprotein (α 1 S), haptoglobin (Hp) and complement fraction 3 (C 3 ) were made in 85 consecutive patients with Hodgkin’s disease, both in acute phase (77 measurements...
