Abstract:
Tamm-Horsfall protein(THP)was determined with radioimmunoassay in the urine and blood samples of 59 burn patients.It was found that urine and blood THP was significantly decreased postburn and the degree of decresing was correlated with the extent of the burnt body surface and the severity of renal damage.The changes of THP occurred earlier than those of the routine parameters for renal damage such as BUN or Cr.It is suggested that THP determination can be used as an index for the early damage of the Henle's loop and the distal convoluted tubules after burn injury.
