Hydroxyproline excretion in infantile gastroenteritis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Total hydroxyproline/creatinine ratio (THP:Cr) was measured in random urine specimens from 18 infants with gastroenteritis. THP:Cr was sometimes increased during the acute phase of the illness and the reasons for this are discussed. Seven patients failed to thrive after the acute phase and THP:Cr was low in all of these. The test appears to be a sensitive indicator of the onset of failure to thrive, and it is suggested that it may be of value in the management of these patients.

Familial idiopathic hyperphosphatasia: a study of two young siblings treated with porcine calcitonin.
A study of two siblings with a severe infantile form of familial idiopathic hyperphosphatasia is reported. A girl aged one year was followed for two years while receiving intermittent treatment with porcine calcitonin. This induced a clinical remission, a reduction of both the high serum level of alkaline phosphatase and the raised urinary excretion of hydroxyproline, and a remarkable improveme...
متن کاملSignificance 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 کاملHydroxyproline excretion in patients with breast cancer and response to treatment.
The urinary excretion of hydroxyproline, measured as the hydroxyproline: creatinine ratio, was useful in monitoring the progression of metastatic cancer of the breast. After new treatment was started changes in the hydroxyproline excretion occurred earlier than other clinically observable responses. The test could therefore be used for predicting the response to treatment and early detection of...
