Urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI) levels rise in various conditions, including infection and malignancy. Automated measurements now allow for easier monitoring of this acute phase response marker.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Clinical Chemistry
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Trypsin inhibiting activity in urine was noted early in the 20th century.
  • Elevated urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI) excretion is linked to diverse conditions like infection, renal disease, malignancy, and pregnancy.

Observation:

  • Maximal UTI excretion typically occurs 1-2 days post-onset of associated conditions.
  • Recent advancements have simplified the understanding and measurement of the UTI molecule.

Findings:

  • Automated enzymic and immunologic methods enable efficient measurement of UTI in urine.
  • UTI serves as a valuable marker for the acute phase response, alongside ESR and CRP.

Implications:

  • UTI monitoring aids in tracking patient recovery, particularly after abdominal surgery.
