Serum low-molecular-weight proteins in haemodialysis patients: effect of residual renal function. 1988

General Infirmary, Leeds, UK.

Serum low-molecular-weight proteins, beta-2-microglobulin and alpha-1-microglobulin, were measured in 34 patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis. There was a strong positive correlation between beta 2M and alpha 1M and predialysis serum creatinine and strong negative correlations between these proteins and 24-h urine volume and creatinine clearance. Good correlation was also demonstrated with total duration of haemodialysis, which also correlated with residual renal function. It is suggested that the elevated beta 2M and alpha 1M in haemodialysis patients merely reflect the severity of renal failure and are not directly influenced by the duration of dialysis or type of dialysis membrane.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
