[Alpha-1-antitrypsin and fibrinogen levels in chronic renal failure and after kidney transplantation (author's transl)]. 1981

J Zazgornik, and P Balcke, and P Schmidt, and H Kopsa, and H Hysek, and K Lenz

In ten non dialyzed patients with chronic renal failure, 18 patients on regular dialysis treatment and 70 renal transplant recipients alpha-1-antitrypsin and fibrinogen levels were investigated. Alpha-1-antitrypsin and fibrinogen concentrations were highest in dialyzed patients with values of 314 +/- 98 and 485 +/- 127 mg/dl respectively. In renal transplant recipients a significant positive correlation between alpha-1-antitrypsin and fibrinogen concentration was found (p less than 0.001). High alpha-1-antitrypsin and fibrinogen levels seem to be a possible consequence of reactive processes due to underlying disease or complications. Our results seem to indicate that both alpha 1-antitrypsin and fibrinogen can be classified as "acute phase protein".

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
