conclusions although we found an association between myh9 gene polymorphism and urinary albumin excretion, the results did not show a significant association between myh9 polymorphism (rs4821481) and risk of dn in iranian diabetic patients. background myosin heavy chain 9 (myh9) gene polymorphisms have been implicated in different types of renal disease, as well as in nephropathy attributed to ...

Background: Osteoporosis is one of the prevalent diseases post-Menopausal women. Hence to evaluate severity osteoporosis serum calcium, ALP and urinary hydroxyproline used as bone resorption marker.Method: 30 post-menopausal women with were compared healthy pre-menopausal 25-40 years Random Blood sample collected from venipuncture centrifuged get serum. Fasting Urine was 1.2 drops 6 N HCI added...

BACKGROUND Urinary albumin can be measured in 24 h or spot samples. The 24 h urinary albumin excretion rate is considered the gold standard, but is cumbersome to collect. Instead, often an overnight sample is collected, and adjusted for dilution. Proxies for 24 h excretion rate have been studied in diabetics, but seldom in healthy individuals. Our aims were to compare 24 h and overnight albumin...

We describe an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for urinary albumin, performed on microtiter plates with use of commercially available antisera and peroxidase conjugate. The assay range is 3-1000 micrograms/L, the sensitivity 625 pg. The method is suitable for measurement of albumin excretion in either normal or pathological urine. For 20 normal children, the range of urinary albumin excretion...

1. The effects of posture and exercise on the relationship between low-level urinary albumin excretion (microalbuminuria) and blood pressure was investigated in two groups of non-diabetic patients at increased cardiovascular risk: 21 otherwise healthy patients with untreated essential hypertension (blood pressure greater than 160/90 mmHg), and 14 age-matched patients with blood pressure at pres...

Protein activation of urinary alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) activity was observed during an evaluation of the Du Pont aca procedure for the determination of urinary alpha-amylase. This activation effect became constant for urinary albumin concentrations exceeding 1.50 g/liter. It is recommended that urinary alpha-amylase be analyzed with sufficient albumin added to maximize this effect. The aca al...

Concentrations of albumin and retinol-bindung protein (REP) in urine are more sensitive indicators of renal dysfunction in hypertensive patients than the serum creatinmne concentration and the Albustix#{174}reaction (Ames, Tarrytown, NY) (1). Many patients with heart failure had abovenormal urinary albumin and REP concentrations (2), and these values decreased as the patients were treated with ...
