title: Degradation of adenine nucleotides in the erythrocytes of patients with chronic renal failure.
abstract: In chronic renal failure AMP-deaminase operates in the erythrocytes at a much higher velocity than in healthy subjects, with a simultaneous shift from the AMP-adenine-inosine-hypoxanthine pathway (55% and 19%, respectively) to the pathway initiated by AMP-deaminase (45% and 81%, respectively).
