Relationship between tubular and Tamm-Horsfall proteinuria in Balkan endemic nephropathy.
Excretion of low molecular mass proteins derived from blood plasma and Tamm-Horsfall protein, a specific renal protein, was determined in the subjects from the area of Balkan endemic nephropathy. A significantly higher excretion of Tamm-Horsfall protein was observed in the subjects with tubular type of proteinuria compared to the subjects with glomerular selective type proteinuria and the subjects with physiological type proteinuria.
