Polymeric albumin in the urine of patients with nephrotic syndrome. 1977

W H Boesken, and F Schindera, and M Billingham, and J Hardwicke, and R H White, and A Williams

Dimer and polymer albumin was detected in the urine of a proportion of pantients with a nephrotic syndrome. Most of it was present as S-S bonded dimer and polymer; co-polymers, however, with IgG and alpha (1) anti-trypsin could be demonstrated. It is suggested that albumin polymerizes after it has passed the glomerular membrane. Albumin dimer was associated mainly with minimal change disease and early membranous glomerulopathy in patients, who in general responded well to therapy.

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.
