Urinary protein components. I. Basis and general methodology

Abstract

Protein clearances of blood components is becoming one of the most accured pro­ cedures to test glomerule and tube behaviour. Molecular protein components lighter than 150,000 M.W. usually, are cleared.

A three points scale ranging from 60 to 900,000 M.W. is explored. Quantitative immuno-diffusion and electroforesis are used. Net clearance and sieving coefficient are, among others, the main patterns to be determined.
