Alanine aminopeptidase and beta 2-microglobulin excretion in patients receiving vancomycin and gentamicin

Alanine aminopeptidase and beta 2-microglobulin excretion in patients receiving vancomycin and gentamicin.

The effects of vancomycin, gentamicin, and combination vancomycin-gentamicin treatments on alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) and beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2M) elimination in 30 hospitalized patients were assessed and compared with elimination in a control group. Twenty-four-hour urine excretion values for AAP and beta 2M were determined on treatment day 1 and day 5 for patients receiving the three ...

SERUM IgE AND BETA 2 MICROGLOBULIN LEVELS AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Serum IgE and beta 2 microglobulin levels were determined in 31 patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction and 30 patients with other forms of ischemic heart disease. The levels of these parameters were studied on the first, third and seventh day after the onset of disease. The immunological method used for the determinations was ELISA Patients with myocardial infarction showed an...

association between plasma beta-2 microglobulin level and cardiac performance in patients with chronic kidney disease

background beta-2 microglobulin (b2m) is considered as a surrogate marker for middle molecule uremic toxins and a key component in dialysis-related amyloidosis. however, few studies have evaluated role of b2m in patients with chronic kidney disease (ckd). objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of plasma b2m level with some metabolic and cardiac performance factors ...

Modification of serum beta-2-microglobulin in chronic hemodialysis patients.

An Investigation of the Relationship between Beta-2 Microglobulin (β2M) and Inflammatory Factors (Serum Levels of CRP and Albumin) and High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) in Hemodialysis Patients

Background and Objective: Beta-2 Microglobulin (β2M) is a middle molecular weight uremic toxin. Lack of β2M removal leads to β2M accumulation and amyloidosis in hemodialysis patients. The present research aims to determine the relationship between β2M and inflammatory factors, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in hemodialysis patie...
