  • Title: Plasma and urine fibronectin concentration in kidney-transplanted patients.
    Author: Eriksen HO, Skjoldby O, Kjersem H, Selmer J, Tranebjaerg L, Clemmensen I.
    Journal: Scand J Clin Lab Invest; 1984 Apr; 44(2):135-42. PubMed ID: 6372059.
    Abstract:
    Plasma and urine fibronectin concentration was determined by electroimmunoassay and ELISA-method in patients who received renal transplantation. The plasma fibronectin concentration decreased both after the transplantation, in relation to the acute rejection of the graft, and in the relation to immunosuppressive therapy. Urine fibronectin excretion increased in relation to the kidney transplantation and acute rejection of the graft. In association with improved kidney function, the urine fibronectin excretion decreased. It is suggested that it might be of clinical importance to determine the excretion of fibronectin into the urine in patients undergoing kidney transplantation.
