[Alpha-1-antitrypsin in children with glomerular diseases (author's transl)]. 1976

G Lubec, and G Weissenbacher, and E Balzar, and H Bugajer-Gleitmann

Alpha-1-antitrypsin was determined in children with glomerular diseases by means of a quantitative radial immunodiffusion method. The concentration of this inhibiting protein has been found to be very low during relapses. An attempt has been made to correlate this finding with the clinical picture and the presumed underlying pathological mechanism. The loss of this inhibitor due to proteinuria is one of the explanations, in concurrence with the findings of other authors. The second explanation lies in the consumption of the inhibitor protein as a consequence of the reaction with liberated proteolytic enzymes.

D009394 Nephritis, Hereditary A group of inherited conditions characterized initially by HEMATURIA and slowly progressing to RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.

D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.
