[Relationship between Syndrome-Type in TCM and four trace urinary proteins in patients with bronchial asthma]
Objective:
To explore the possible relationship between Syndrome-Type in TCM and the 4 trace urinary proteins in patients with bronchial asthma.
Methods:
The 4 kinds of trace urinary proteins in 217 patients with asthma were measured by radioimmunoassay, and that in 66 normal subjects were compared.
Results:
The results showed that there were increments of urinary albumin, urinary IgG, urinary beta 2-microglobulin and urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein in patients with asthma; and the gradual increase tended to be accompanied by the continuous aggravation of patient's condition on TCM Syndrome-Type. Furthermore, these datas proved that the 4 trace urinary proteins might be the most sensitive indicators for detecting impaired renal functions than serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine.
Conclusions:
There were the objective material foundations on TCM Syndrome-Type in asthmatics, which consisted of renal glomerular dysfunctions to filter out albumin and IgG, renal tubular dysfunction to reabsorb beta 2-microglobulin, and to synthesize and excrete Tamm-Horsfall protein.
