Natural fluorescence in serum of patients with chronic renal failure not to be confused with creatine kinase-BB isoenzyme.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We assessed the reported presence of creatine kinase-BB isoenzyme in the serum of patients with chronic renal failure. Our study showed that the blood of these patients contains a fluorescent material with an electrophoretic mobility similar to that of the BB isoenzyme on cellulose acetate strips. The fluorescing material is, however, completely distinct from BB isoenzyme and its nature is as yet undetermined.

متن کاملSpurious brain creatine kinase in serum from patients with renal disease.
Creatine kinase isoenzyme I(BB) is generally not detectable in normal serum, and its occurrence in serum has been documented in only a few disease states. In particular, increased activity of this isoenzyme has been reported in association with chronic renal failure, hemodialysis, and renal transplantation. The present study demonstrates that the apparent creatine kinase observed in the serum o...

On inspecting the films before enzyme substrate was added, we would see fluorescent bands cathodal and anodal, adjacent to but distinct from the position where the BB isoenzyme would be expec...
متن کاملCirculating CK-MB and CK-BB isoenzyme after gastrointestinal surgery.
The effect of gastrointestinal surgery on serum creatine kinase activity was studied in 30 patients. The MB isoenzyme was demonstrated in sera of 30% of the patients and BB isoenzyme in 23%. MB content varied from 0.8 to 10.3% of the total creatine kinase activity, and the BB content from 0.6 to 18.4%. The CK-BB was probably of gastrointestinal origin, since gastrointestinal tract contains high...
متن کاملTransient increase in serum creatine kinase isoenzyme BB activity after prostatectomy in a patient with massive benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The activity of creatine kinase isoenzyme BB (CK-BB) in serum is rarely abnormally high (i.e., detectable). An increase in immunoreactive CK-BB or CK-BB activity in patients with prostatic disease has been proposed as an indication of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Here we report the case of an elderly man with massive benign prostatic hyperplasia but no clinical or pathological evidence of prostati...
