Microheterogeneity of urinary albumin
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2011, Vol 34, Issue 2
Abstract
To date, various forms of urinary albumin resulting from post-translational modifications such as fragments, decreased immuno-reactivity, intermolecular links between disulfide bonds, and oxidation have been reported. This variety of urinary albumin has raised the question of which one should we analyze in the clinical laboratory. In this review, we provide an overview of recently-developed analytical methods of urinary albumin and its excretion mechanism.
