Urinary albumin excretion in normal and diabetic subjects. 1976

R J Jarrett, and N P Verma, and H Keen

Using an albumin radio-immuno-assay, urinary albumin concentration and excretion rate have been measured in diabetics and control subjects overnight, after several hours ordinary activity and during two successive one hour periods of recumbency. The urine albumin concentration was relatively constant throughout each of the four collection periods. Variations in albumin excretion rate were directly related to changes in urine flow. In assessing changes in urinary albumin, concentration and urine flow should be reported as well as the calculated albumin excretion rate. In the diabetics, selected for absence of clinical proteinuria, the mean concentration of albumin did not differ significantly from that of the controls. The overnight albumin excretion rate was higher in the diabetics, but this was due to the greater volume of urine.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
