Urine transferrin

Transferrin is a beta globulin that binds to and transports iron in serum. Transferrin is mainly synthesized in the liver, and its reduction can be used as an indicator to judge the prognosis of liver disease. A variety of diseases such as iron deficiency anemia can also be reflected by serum transferrin assay. Basic Information Specialist classification: urinary examination classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: normal. Normal value: Urinary transferrin (adult): 0-0.68mg/24h Above normal: Mainly found in diabetic nephropathy. negative: Positive: Tips: Try to use fresh morning urine when doing this check. The urine that is randomly selected is preferably mid-stage urine. Menstrual women are not suitable for this examination. Normal value Adult <0.68mg/24h. Clinical significance Abnormal results: Increased urinary transferrin levels are mainly found in diabetic nephropathy. The kidney is one of the most commonly involved organs of diabetic microangiopathy. The main pathological change is the increase in the pore size of the glomerular filtration membrane, the loss of negative charge, and the increase in permeability. A large amount of plasma protein having a small molecular weight is passed. The molecular weight of transferrin (69000 Daltons) and molecular radius are lower than Alb, and the negative charge of transferrin is less than Alb. In the early stage of diabetic kidney damage, transferrin is more likely to appear in urine than Alb, so urine is detected. Early detection of transferrin is better than urinary Alb in the diagnosis of glomerular disease. The people who need to be examined have people with symptoms of “three more”, high blood pressure, and obesity. High results may be diseases: Precautions for diabetic nephropathy Note during inspection: Fresh morning urine should be used as much as possible during this examination. The urine that is randomly selected is preferably mid-stage urine. Not suitable for the crowd: menstrual women. Inspection process Inspection process: As with routine urine tests, use a clean, dry container with a disposable urine cup and urine test tube provided by the hospital. Take about 10 ml of urine and send it to the designated inspection window of the hospital, and then check it by staining. Not suitable for the crowd Menstrual women. Adverse reactions and risks no.
