Hydroxyproline

Collagen is the main component of collagen fibers in connective tissue and contains the most hydroxyproline. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, accounting for about 1/3 of the total body protein. By using the highest content of Hyp in collagen, the determination of Hyp in blood and urine can be used to understand the catabolism of collagen in the body, which can be used as an indicator of connective decomposition. At present, the clinical use of amino acid automatic analyzers is generally satisfactory. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: normal. Normal value: Hydroxyproline (male): 0-0.55mg/dl Hydroxyproline (female): 0-0.46mg/dl Above normal: When the connective tissue in the body is proliferated or destroyed in a large amount, such as severe fracture, burn, severe tuberculosis and cirrhosis, Hodgkin's disease, hyperthyroidism, hydroxyprolineemia can cause hydroxyproline content in blood and urine. increase. negative: Positive: Tips: Collagen intake in food affects the excretion of hydroxyproline in the urine. Normal value 1, serum 6 to 18 years old male 0.00 ~ 0.66mg / dl; female 0.00 ~ 0.58mg / dl. Adult male 0.00 ~ 0.55mg / dl; female 0.00 ~ 0.46mg / dl. 2, the total amount of urine 24h urinary hydroxyproline 15 ~ 50 years old is 13 ~ 96mg / 24h. Clinical significance Hydroxyproline is a component of collagen, accounting for 13% of its total amino acid. Collagen is the main component of connective tissue and the most abundant protein in the human body. When the connective tissue in the body is proliferated or destroyed, such as Severe fractures, burns, severe tuberculosis and cirrhosis, Hodgkin's disease, hyperthyroidism, and hydroxyprolineemia can cause an increase in hydroxyproline content in blood and urine. High results may be diseases: keloids, cirrhosis, tuberculosis Serum assays were not found. The amount of collagen in the food affects the excretion of hydroxyproline in the urine. Inspection process Same as the automatic amino acid analyzer. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
