Urinary immunoglobulin

Determination of urinary immunoglobulin has certain value for observing the degree and prognosis of patients with chronic nephritis and nephrotic syndrome. It is also useful for the diagnosis of acute urinary tract infection and urinary tract disease. Collect 24h urine for inspection. Basic Information Specialist classification: urinary examination classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: normal. Normal value: IgG: 0-3ng/24h urine IgA: 0-1ng/24h urine IgM: 0-0ng/24h urine Above normal: Common in chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and so on. The appearance of IgM indicates a serious condition and a poor prognosis. Increased IgA in the urine, common in pyelonephritis, cystitis and so on. Increased urinary IgG, common in acute glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis, uremia, certain hypertension, cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism, urinary calculi patients. negative: Positive: Tips: In the detection of serum of patients with light chain disease or heavy chain disease, heavy chain antiserum and light chain kappa and lambda antiserum should be used for further identification, otherwise it may produce artifacts. Some of the immune complex disease patients may have some polymer Ig in the serum, which can make the results lower. Normal value IgG<3ng/24h urine; IgA<1ng/24h urine; IgM0ng / 24h urine. Clinical significance Elevation is common in chronic nephritis and nephrotic syndrome. The appearance of IgM indicates a serious condition and a poor prognosis. Increased IgA in the urine, common in pyelonephritis, cystitis and so on. Increased urinary IgG, common in acute glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis, uremia, certain hypertension, cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism, urinary calculi patients. High results may be diseases: chronic nephritis, uremia considerations 1. The RID kits for IgG, IgA, and IgM are available at home and abroad. When using them, be sure to follow the instructions of each manufacturer in strict accordance with the instructions of each manufacturer to avoid errors. 2. In the detection of serum of patients with light chain disease or heavy chain disease, heavy chain antiserum and light chain kappa type and lambda type antiserum should be used for further identification, otherwise illusion may occur. 3, some immune complex disease patients may have some Ig of multimer in the serum, which can make the result lower. Inspection process A one-way immunodiffusion procedure is used. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
