Relationship between tubular and Tamm-Horsfall proteinuria in Balkan endemic nephropathy. 1986

D Cvorisćec, and A Stavljenić, and M Radonić

Excretion of low molecular mass proteins derived from blood plasma and Tamm-Horsfall protein, a specific renal protein, was determined in the subjects from the area of Balkan endemic nephropathy. A significantly higher excretion of Tamm-Horsfall protein was observed in the subjects with tubular type of proteinuria compared to the subjects with glomerular selective type proteinuria and the subjects with physiological type proteinuria.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007684	Kidney Tubules	Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.

D008297	Male		Males
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009088	Mucoproteins	Conjugated proteins in which mucopolysaccharides are combined with proteins. The mucopolysaccharide moiety is the predominant group with the protein making up only a small percentage of the total weight.
D009395	Nephritis, Interstitial	Inflammation of the interstitial tissue of the kidney. This term is generally used for primary inflammation of KIDNEY TUBULES and/or surrounding interstitium. For primary inflammation of glomerular interstitium, see GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. Infiltration of the inflammatory cells into the interstitial compartment results in EDEMA, increased spaces between the tubules, and tubular renal dysfunction.

D005919	Glomerular Filtration Rate	The volume of water filtered out of plasma through glomerular capillary walls into Bowman's capsules per unit of time. It is considered to be equivalent to INULIN clearance.	Filtration Rate, Glomerular,Filtration Rates, Glomerular,Glomerular Filtration Rates,Rate, Glomerular Filtration,Rates, Glomerular Filtration
