Urine glycosaminoglycans in children with transient hip synovitis and Perthes disease.
Urine glycosaminoglycan concentrations were measured in 24-h urine samples collected from ninety children (30 children with Perthes disease, 30 with transient synovitis and 30 control participants). Significantly decreased levels of urine glycosaminoglycans were found in Perthes disease patients compared with those with transient synovitis and the control group.
