Production of recombinant human beta2-microglobulin for scintigraphic diagnosis of amyloidosis in uremia and hemodialysis.
Amyloid of beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) origin can be diagnosed using 131I-radiolabelled-beta2m scintigraphy in patients with uremia and hemodialysis treatment. As the tracer beta2m is isolated from another patient, it carries the common risks, including viral infections such as Hepatitis B, C and HIV, which are associated with human plasma products. In order to exclude these risks we have prod...
متن کاملtype . Systemic amyloidosis of beta 2 microglobulin
A patient receiving haemodialysis for 15 years developed systemic amyloidosis of I2 microglobulin type. Noticeable deposits of amyloid were present in the myocardium, intervertebral discs, joint cartilages and tendons. Less conspicuous amounts were present in blood vessel walls in the lungs, liver, adrenal glands and brain, and within the stroma of the prostate, testis and kidney, often with fo...
متن کاملReduction of circulating beta2-microglobulin level for the treatment of dialysis-related amyloidosis.
Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is a common complication associated with long-term haemodialysis therapy. The elimination of beta2-microglobulin (beta2m), the major constituent of the amyloid fibrils in DRA, from circulation has been expected to bring some clinical benefit. Recently, a direct haemoperfusion method using selective beta2m absorption column to eliminate circulating beta2m has b...
متن کاملSubcutaneous beta2-microglobulin amyloid shoulder nodulesin a long-term hemodialysis patient.
beta2-Microglobulin accumulation with resultant tumor formation is a known albeit rare complication of long-term hemodialysis. Although these tumors may occur in various locations, subcutaneous shoulder nodules are very infrequent. We report a patient with end-stage kidney failure who had been on hemodialysis for 16 years and noted left shoulder nodules after initiation of hemodialysis; these n...
