Urinary fibrinogen degradation products and differential protein clearances in renal disease
Clinical Nephrology
|March 1, 1979
Abstract:
The close correlation observed between urine concentration of fibrinogen degradation products and differential protein clearances in the proteinuria of renal disease has been confirmed. Heavy proteinuria in excess of 5 g/l however leads to raised FDP levels, irrespective of the selectivity of the protein clearance. A correction factor for proteinuria enables an accurate estimate of protein clearance from a single measurement of urine FDP.
