Abstract:
The authors compared the results from urine protein electrophoresis of nephrotic adults with those from routine examinations, anapathologic findings and corticomonotherapy response. Urine electrophoresis was performed in Central Bio-Medical Laboratory of Hanoi Medical school, on Paragon-Beckman apparatus in 1% agarose gel, 100V in 30 minutes. Urine protein are estimated in percent directly on densitometer. Renal biopsy by aspiration needle under the US guidance was realized in BachMai Hospital and histological interpretations were given from the Department of Anapathology of Hanoi Medical school. Response to corticoid monotherapy was obtained by evaluation of 24h protein in the urine after 4 weeks of treatment. The obtained results from 8 primary nephrotic adults showed that the glomerular minimal changes were not always in accordance with the results from urine protein electrophoresis. Responses to therapy were met in patients having selective proteinuria and in some having nonselective proteinuria. All the studied patients having glomerular minimal changes responded completely the usual corticoid monotherapy
