Fetal urine cystatin C as a predictor of postnatal renal function in bilateral uropathies.
discrete degradation product of human chori-onic gonadotropin -subunit in humans. Fetal Urine Cystatin C as a Predictor of Postnatal Renal Function in Bilateral Uropathies To the Editor: Fetal obstructive uropathies are among the most frequent anomalies diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound. Prenatal management of obstructive uropathies depends on the evaluation of renal function. Although the prog...
متن کاملPredicting residual kidney function in hemodialysis patients using serum β-trace protein and β2-microglobulin.
Residual kidney function (RKF) contributes significant solute clearance in hemodialysis patients. Kidney Diseases Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines suggest that hemodialysis dose can be safely reduced in those with residual urea clearance (KRU) of 2 ml/min/1.73 m(2) or more. However, serial measurement of RKF is cumbersome and requires regular interdialytic urine collections. Simpl...
متن کاملFetal uninephrectomy leads to postnatal hypertension and compromised renal function.
It has been proposed that the number of nephrons an individual has may be inversely related to his or her blood pressure. In this study using female ovine fetuses, nephron number was reduced by performing a fetal uninephrectomy during the period of active nephrogenesis (100 days of gestation, term=150 days). Lambs were born at term and grew at a similar rate. At 5 months of age, ovaries were re...
متن کاملAmniotic Fluid β2- Microglobulin Measurements
OBJECTIVE: To determine β2-microglobulin levels in amniotic fluid during the course of second trimester. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred patient’s amniotic fluid β2-microglobulin levels had been evaluated retrospectively (March-October 2009). The most common amniocentesis indication was advanced maternal age (33.3%). Others were; high risk result for triple test (18.5%), high risk result for double t...
متن کاملIntermolecular Alignment in β2-Microglobulin Amyloid Fibrils
The deposition of amyloid-like fibrils, composed primarily of the 99-residue protein β2-microglobulin (β2m), is one of the characteristic symptoms of dialysis-related amyloidosis. Fibrils formed in vitro at low pH and low salt concentration share many properties with the disease related fibrils and have been extensively studied by a number of biochemical and biophysical methods. These fibrils c...
