title: Variations of urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein in humans during the first thirty years of life.
abstract: A systematic study was undertaken to evaluate the urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP), creatinine and total protein elimination in 76 normal subjects divided into five groups during the first 30 years of life. This shows that urinary THP flow, relating to body surface area, increases progressively up to adult age.
