Low molecular weight urinary proteins and renal lithiasis. 1979

M I Resnick, and W H Boyce

Twenty-four hour urine specimens were obtained from 20 active calcium oxalate stone formers, 20 inactive calcium oxalate stone formers, 8 struvite stone formers, and 9 non-stone forming controls. Proteins with molecular weights less than 50,000 daltons were concentrated by ultrafiltration and separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Fourteen of the 17 active calcium oxalate stone formers had low molecular weight urinary proteins (less than 35,000 daltons) present in their urine whereas none of the inactive stone formers or struvite stone formers had similar patterns. Only one of the nine control patients had similar proteins present.

D011507 Proteinuria The presence of proteins in the urine, an indicator of KIDNEY DISEASES. Proteinurias
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D014462 Ultrafiltration The separation of particles from a suspension by passage through a filter with very fine pores. In ultrafiltration the separation is accomplished by convective transport; in DIALYSIS separation relies instead upon differential diffusion. Ultrafiltration occurs naturally and is a laboratory procedure. Artificial ultrafiltration of the blood is referred to as HEMOFILTRATION or HEMODIAFILTRATION (if combined with HEMODIALYSIS).
