Glycosaminoglycans, albuminuria and hydrocarbon exposure.
The value of the glycosaminoglycans (GAG) determination in urine was examined in a population of hydrocarbon-exposed workers and compared to the usefulness of the fractional albumin clearance (FAC). Blood pressure and hydrocarbon exposure interact to increase the FAC but the GAG concentration seems less useful because too many other variables influence it as well.
