摘要

The renal excretion of 3 hydroxyproline (3 HYP) and 4 hydroxyproline (4 HYP) was investigated in control subjects and in patients with various renal diseases. In normal adult subjects urinary 3 HYP was 12.5 +/- 3.5 (SD) mumoles/24 hr, 4 HYP was 226 +/- 62 mumoles/24 hr and the percentage ratio 3 HYP/4 HYP 5.4 +/- 0.5. This ratio was reduced during growth because of a relative excess of 4 HYP. In patients with acute glomerular disease (n = 12) 3 HYP was increased to 17.1 +/- 5.8 mumoles/24 hr (P less than 0.01), and the ratio 3 HYP/4 HYP was 7.3 +/- 0.7% (P less than 0.01). Such an increase in 3 HYP was not observed in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (n = 24) where 3 HYP was 9.6 +/- 5.0 mumoles/24 hr and 3 HYP/4 HYP 5.7 +/- 1.6% or with diabetic glomerulopathy (n = 6). In patients with chronic interstitial nephritis (n = 8) the 3 HYP/4 HYP ratio was decreased except in patients with polycystic renal disease (PKD) where it was increased (P less than 0.001). The daily urinary content of 3 HYP and 4 HYP was slightly altered by renal insufficiency. Urinary 3 HYP did not change significantly in patients with GN with the nephrotic syndrome whatever the histological lesion. These results indicate that urinary 3 HYP: 1) is increased when glomerulonephritis is clinically acute or subacute; 2) is increased in PKD whatever the level of renal insufficiency.
