Clinical application of protein electrophoresis using non-concentrated urine samples / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objectives To analyze the various protein components in urine and to define the types of proteinuria. Methods Sodium dodecyl sulfate argarose gel electrophoresis was used to analyze 86 non concentrated urine samples from patients with various renal injury. Results According to the images of urine protein electrophoresis, proteinuria can be classified into five types glomerular, tubular, mixed, over flow, and physiological. Results from 16 cases of renal biopsy showed glomerular type, in 12 cases mixed type in 3, physiological type in 1. Conclusion This method is highly sensitive, simple, less time consuming and easy for long term preservation of results.
