Proteinuria and distribution of fibrinogen split products in various forms of glomerulonephritis

The microelectrophoresis on gradient gels allows differentiation between the different types of proteinuria in 1 h in a one-step procedure. Due to their different molecular weights and forms, fibrinogen split products are separated by this method. The determination of fibrinogen split products not only offers a possibility for dicrimination between the various forms of glomerulonephritis but also offers a possibility for following the course of the disease.
