title: [Serum glycoproteins as an index of protein metabolism in advanced chronic kidney failure].
abstract: The results of our investigation show that in patients under conditions of haemodialysis as well as under conservative therapy the changes of the serum levels of haptoglobin and transferrin are more clearly and less difficult to be recognized than those of the total protein and albumin level. Therefore the serum glycoproteins with a short half-life period may successfully be used as index of the protein metabolism in patients with chronic renal insufficiency as well as additional factor for the assessment of the therapeutic success.
