[About degradation products of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor in serum. I. The inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor as precursor of the acid stable trypsin-plasmin-inhibitor of the serum (author's transl)]. 1977

K Hochstrasser, and J Niebel, and H Feuth, and K Lempart

The humoral inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor is to define as precursor of the acid stable trypsin-plasmin-inhibitor in the serum. The inhibitor is filtrated by the glomerulum and excreted in the urine. The serum level of the inhibitor is increased in nephropathy. Using a new assay for the intact precursor it was found that during inflammation the decreased precursor level indicates an increased turnover, though the glomerular filtration of the acid-stable inhibitor is within normal range. The increase of the precursor level during nephropathy indicates that the kidney is the main degradation organe for the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor. Nevertheless, an increase of the acid-stable inhibitor is to be seen. This fact is only to explain if it is assumed that the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor is permanently degraded everywhere in the organism.

D014511 Uremia A clinical syndrome associated with the retention of renal waste products or uremic toxins in the blood. It is usually the result of RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Most uremic toxins are end products of protein or nitrogen CATABOLISM, such as UREA or CREATININE. Severe uremia can lead to multiple organ dysfunctions with a constellation of symptoms. Uremias
