Abstract
We estimated the concentration of serum amyloid P-component (SAP) in patients on maintenance dialysis (HD). The following results were obtained. 1. SAP levels in HD patients (n=70) were higher than those in healthy subjects (n=69). 2. SAP levels were statistically correlated with α1-AT, C4 and CH50 levels. 3. SAP levels fell during hemodialysis, possibly due to absorption by the dialysis membrane.
