...) assay overestimates, whereas the bromcresol purple (BCP) assay underestimates albumin concentration. Since corrected calcium concentrations depend on albumin, the albumin assay may have implications for the management of bone mineral disorders. Methods: A subset of patients from CONTRAST, a cohort...

... pruritus. To determine the cause of this phenomenon, we measured total calcium (TCa) concentrations in the deeper epidermis and performed immunostaining of epidermal albumin, which binds to Ca 2+ . Methods: This study included 45 patients with CKD-stage 5, which was defined as severely reduced kidney...

..., and an increased prevalence of family history of hypertension and myocardial infarction have been shown in NM hypertensives. Since an elevated urinary albumin excretion (UAE) has been indicated as a negative prognostic marker for cardiovascular diseases in essential hypertensives, we evaluated UAE in 50 male...

.... To investigate the hypothesis that severe albuminuria plays a role in the pathogenesis of both processes, we purified the protein from conditioned media of rats with advanced ADR nephropathy and tested the fibrogenic effect on renal fibroblasts and mesangial cells in vitro. Albumin was purified by pseudoligand...

... of α 1 -acid glycoprotein (α 1 -AGP), β 2 -microglobulin (β 2 -MG) and albumin were measured by a chromato-integrator. The α 1 -AGP/albumin ratio was regarded as the marker of glomerular damage, while the β 2 -MG/albumin ratio indicated tubular dysfunction. As a result, the α 1 -AGP/albumin ratio...

...María E. Ibarra-Rubio; José Pedraza-Chaverrí; Arturo Panduro The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of albumin, fibrinogen, α1-acid glycoprotein (pAGP) and transferrin were analyzed in puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)-treated (nephrotic) and in pair-fed (PF) rats with the Northern and dot blot...

Donker; R.W. ten Kate In 8 healthy male volunteers, urinary excretion (UE) and fractional clearance (FC) of pepsinogen A (PGA), β 2 -microglobulin (β2-m) and albumin were measured after 6 days high protein diet (HPD; 2.0 g/kg/day...

... changes and the time-dependent sensitivity of kidney functions to acute challenges should be considered. Finally, the amount rather than quality of dietary proteins seems to be the determinant factor for protein-induced glomerular hyperfiltration. 16 01 1990 10 12 2008 Albumin Circadian...

...M.G. Koopman; R.T. Krediet; F.M.J. Zuyderhoudt; E.A.M. de Moor; L. Arisz The changes in urinary β 2 microglobulin excretion during the day were studied in 20 patients with a nephrotic syndrome under standardized conditions and compared with the known circadian variations in urinary albumin...

.... The present in vivo study does not support this hypothesis since it clearly shows that small and large proteins (e.g., β 2 -microglobulin and albumin) can compete for renal uptake. Our results lead us to postulate the existence of common tubular reabsorption sites for which proteins exhibit different...

...G.A. Young; A.M. Brownjohn; F.M. Parsons Total protein and 12 specific proteins were measured in dialysates from 8 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis during training. Mean daily loss of total protein was 10.5 g and this included 5.2 g albumin, 805 mg of the immunoglobulins G...

...Paul M. Rosman; Renrick Benn; Martin Kay; Eleanor Z. Wallace We measured cortisol binding to albumin in uremic plasma during a study to see if increased morning plasma free cortisol values, reported previously in chronic renal failure patients, could be explained by binding abnormalities of plasma...

This investigation showed that amylase is reabsorbed by the tubular cells, but only to a very modest degree compared with the reabsorption of the other three proteins.
