  • Process for the detection of kidney tubule functioning
    Patent number: 5310655
    Abstract: In the case of a process for the detection of the functionability of the kidney tubules, one specifically determines the content of THP in the urine as measure of the function of the kidney tubules. One uses this process for the control of the transplant rejection after a kidney transplantation, for the detection of blood supply disturbances of the kidney and of kidney damages produced by prior oxygen deficiency supply. Processes for determining kidney function by measuring Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) using a specific monoclonal antibody are disclosed.
