Electrophoretic Studies on Proteinuria

Abstract

1) Paper-electrophoretic analysis was carried out on miscellaneous proteinurias; i. e., nephrosis, acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, uremia, malignant hypertension, toxemia of pregnancy, diabetic nephropathy, disseminated lupus erythematosus, chronic passive congestion of the kidney, chronic pyelonephritis, tuberculosis of the kidney, febrile proteinuria, leukemia, orthostatic proteinuria, multiple myeloma and normal individuals.
2) Only nephrosis and Bence-Jones proteinuria revealed characteristic patterns with highly diagnostic value, but the other proteinurias showed no discernible characteristics.
3) It seems significant that the pattern approaches to normal individuals as acute and chronic glomerulonephritis improves.
