  • Title: [Urinary excretion of hydroxyproline in chronic obstructive bronchitis].
    Author: Wendel H, Rehpenning W.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1981 Apr 01; 36(7):247-9. PubMed ID: 7281827.
    Abstract:
    The establishment of the hydroxyproline excretion in the urine is done in a normal collective of healthy persons, 68 patients with bronchitis in the compensated and 25 patients with bronchitis in the decompensated stage. The comparison of the mean value by means of the Scheffé-test results in significant differences between the normal collective and the patients with bronchitis in the stage of decompensation. Though an increase of the hydroxyproline excretion in the urine in chronic bronchitis with formation of an emphysema is a prognostically unfavourable prediction, this method cannot be recommended for a broader application in practice. The main reason for this is the danger of an incorrect interpretation on account of insufficient knowledge on the origin of hydroxyproline.
