ABSTRACT
The levels of urine thromboxane B, (TXB2) and 6-keto-PGF1a were measured by radioimmunoassay in 24 patients with lupus nephritis and 12 normal subjects. The results showed that the level of TXB2 and the ratio of TXB2/6- keto- PGF1x in urine were significantly higher, while the level of urine 6-keto-PGF1x( was lower in patients with lupus nephritis than that in normal group. The ratio of TXB2/6-keto-PGF1a in urine was correlated positively to the content of urine protein. These results indicate that there is TXA2-PGI2 imbalance in the kidney in patients with lupus nephritis. TXA2 can play an important pathogenetic role in the progression of lupus nephritis in patients. The ratio of TXB2/6-keto-PGF1x in urine may serve as a parameter in evaluating patients with lupus nephritis.
