[Role of serum and urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein in the surveillance of kidney transplants].
The study of 24-h urinary excretion proves to be quite interesting from a theoretical point of view on account of its topographic origin in the nephron and from a practical point of view to control renal transplant patients with favourable or unfavourable course. In both cases, the results we obtain are in accordance with that of blood creatinine assay and ratio N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG)/creatinine in urine. The prolonged study of serum THG concentration confirms the previous data regarding the outcome of renal grafts. Moreover, particularly low concentration rates probably imply the interference of factors such as: renal toxins or anti-THG autoantibodies.
