Clearance Ratios of Amylase Isoenzymes and IgG Subclasses: Do They Reflect Glomerular Charge Selectivity?

B. Buis, Peter C. Wever, Ger C.M. Koomen, Bernadette A. C. van Acker et autres

The clearance ratios of endogenous plasma proteins with the same size but a different charge, such as the amylase isoenzymes and the immunoglobulin (Ig) G subclasses, have been used to assess glomerular charge selectivity in man. These proteins are, however, subject to …

Effect of Prednisone on Renal Function in Man

Bernadette A. C. van Acker, M. F. Prummel, J.A. Weberc, Wilmar M. Wiersinga et autres

To clarify the rise in plasma creatinine concentration previously observed during prednisone treatment, we studied changes in renal function in Graves' ophthalmopathy patients before and after 2 weeks of either prednisone 60 mg/day or retrobulbar radiotherapy (controls). Compared to retrobulbar radiotherapy, prednisone …

Automated analysis of pleural fluid total and differential leukocyte counts with the Sysmex XE-2100

Róbert de Jonge, Rob Brouwer, Marcel van Rijn, Bernadette A. C. van Acker et autres

BACKGROUND: Determination of leukocyte (WBC) counts in pleural fluid is routinely performed by microscopic examination. In this study, we evaluated the performance of automated (differential) WBC counting in comparison with manual counting. METHODS: Pleural fluid samples (n=45) were obtained from patients undergoing …

Glutamine: The Pivot of Our Nitrogen Economy?

Bernadette A. C. van Acker, M.F. von Meyenfeldt, René R. W. J. van der Hulst, Karel W. E. Hulsewé et autres

Glutamine serves as a shuttle of useful nontoxic nitrogen, supplying nitrogen from glutamine-producing (eg, muscle) to glutamine-consuming tissues. True production rates of glutamine are difficult to measure, but probably are less than 60 to 100 g/d for a 70-kg man. During catabolic …
