Plasma fibronectin levels in patients with glomerular proteinuria. 1986

A Rydzewski, and M Mysliwiec

Plasma fibronectin concentration was measured by means of rocket immunoelectrophoresis in 20 cases of glomerular proteinuria of various origins, and correlated with urinary protein loss, serum albumin, cholesterol and plasma alpha 1 antitrypsin and alpha 2 macroglobulin. Plasma fibronectin was significantly increased in the patient's group as compared to the controls (1.91 +/- 0.659 U/ml, 1.01 +/- 0.193 U/ml respectively, p less than 0.001) and correlated with cholesterolaemia (r = 0.662, p less than 0.001). Increased plasma fibronectin may be an additional risk factor for thrombotic tendency in NS.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.

D005353 Fibronectins Glycoproteins found on the surfaces of cells, particularly in fibrillar structures. The proteins are lost or reduced when these cells undergo viral or chemical transformation. They are highly susceptible to proteolysis and are substrates for activated blood coagulation factor VIII. The forms present in plasma are called cold-insoluble globulins.

D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis. These structural and functional abnormalities usually lead to HEMATURIA; PROTEINURIA; HYPERTENSION; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Bright Disease,Kidney Scarring,Glomerulonephritides,Scarring, Kidney
