Urinary excretion of hydroxyproline in leprosy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Urinary excretion of hydroxyproline has been studied in patients with different types of leprosy. The mean average daily excretion is highest in lepromatous leprosy as compared with other forms of leprosy or normal controls. The most striking feature is the “spiky” pattern of the excretion with very wide fluctuations in the daily output observed in lepromatous leprosy patients in reaction. This pattern was not seen in similar investigations in patients with a stable form of leprosy and in a normal subject. The increase in hydroxyproline excretion in lepromatous leprosy was observed in both urinary hydroxyproline fractions studied (HP Fraction I and HP Fraction z) but the increase in HP Fraction z was more significant.

Significance of urinary hydroxyproline in man.
Since nearly all of the hydroxyproline of the body is found in collagen, it has been suggested (1, 2) that the urinary excretion of this imino acid may be an important index of collagen metabolism. The origin of urinary hydroxyproline, however, is not definitely established. The isotopic studies of Stetten (3) in rats indirectly suggested that most of the free and peptide hydroxyproline in the ...
متن کاملUrinary Hydroxyproline Excretion in Orthopedic Disease. Preliminary Report.
The significance of urinary hydroxyproline has not been completely clarified. It appears, however, that this amino acid excretion is correlated with either synthesis or destruction of collagen. Collagen hydroxyproline is reported to be formed by the irreversible hydroxylation of peptid-linked proline and no free hydroxyproline is incorporated directly into this protein. Therefore, the changes o...
متن کاملRelationship between urinary hydroxyproline and growth.
Beginning with the report of Ziff, Kibrick, Dresner, and Gribetz (2), evidence accumulated in recent years has indicated that urinary hydroxyproline excretion reflects collagen metabolism, since collagen is the only protein in the body that contains hydroxyproline in significant amounts (3). Ziff and co-workers, observing that the excretion of this amino acid in peptide form was greater in chil...
متن کاملUrinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans and hydroxyproline in Paget's disease of bone, compared with neoplastic invasion of bone.
Urinary glycosaminoglycan and hydroxyproline excretion was studied in 11 patients with clear evidence of Paget's disease of bone. Urinary hydroxyproline, cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC)-precipitable uronic acid and CPC-precipitable hexosamine were expressed as ratios to urinary creatinine. Urine samples were concentrated x 1000 by vacuum dialysis and the glycosaminoglycans examined by electroph...

BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate urinary MCP-1 and oxidative stress through urinary malondialdehyde (MDA) in leprosy and correlate them with traditional, but less sensitive markers of renal disease. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of 44 patients with diagnosis of leprosy and no previous treatment. Skin smear was assessed through a bacteriological index - from 0 to 6+. Glomerular filtra...
