... Measurement of these mariners is preferably minimally invasive, accurate, and suitable for screening populations at risk. A number of techniques have been developed to assess renal function, but these techniques generally lack the sensitivity and specificity necessary for detecting preclinical disease or are not applicable to large populations.
From page 82...
... URINARY CLEARAIICE MEASUREMENTS Direct Measurement of urinary clearances is not convenient for use in large populations at risk, but it continues to constitute a basic approach to evaluating renal function. Indeed, the introduction of the clearance concept into renal physiology by Moller et al.

... is excreted by tubular secretion, and the rate of its recovery in urine is therefore controlled by indepenclent variables, such as renal plasma flow, the integrity of tubular transport mechanisms, and a linear dependence of the rate of transport on plasma concentration of the dye at the dose used. Measurement of fractional excretion of a standard dose of PSP over 15 or 30 min can yield little information on specific aspects of renal function.
From page 85...
... Simple urinalysis remains perhaps the most useful screening test for the detection of renal injury in large populations. Changes in urinary excretion of numerous solutes have been suggested as markers of exposure and effect.
From page 86...
... However, some forms of renal injury are associated with defects in acid excretion. Such so-called tubular acidosis can be induced by some xenobiotics, by solvents and metals, and by obstruction of the urinary tract.
From page 87...
... Negatively charged molecules of intermediate size, such as albumin, are impeded at the endothelial-cell surface and the proximal layers of the glomerular basement membrane. Uncharged or positively charged molecules, such as myeloperoxidase, permeate the glomerular basement membrane and are retarded at the slit diaphragm of epithelial cells.
From page 88...
... Although the test is sensitive to small quantities of negatively charged proteins, such as albumin, it is insensitive to positively charged proteins, such as some immunoglobutin light chains, and to Tamm-Horsfall protein. Lowmolecular-weight proteins (which are less negatively charged than albumin)
From page 89...
... Recluction in the fixed anionic charge of the glomerular filtration barrier enables greater leakage of serum albumin across the glomerular basement membrane. Nephrotic syndrome induced by puromycin aminonucleoside is associated with reduction of giomerular anionic sites (Michael et al., 1970~.
From page 90...
... In 1985, a consensus conference agreed to define microalbuminuria as a urinary excretion
From page 91...
... Nevertheless, with an increase in filtered load, urinary excretion generally increases well before the tubular maximum for absorption is reached (WaIdmann et al., 1972~. Because low-molecular-weight proteins are reabsorbed solely and virtually completely in the proximal tubule, their .

... and the predominant protein in hyatine casts (Fletcher et al., 1970; McQueen, 1962; Rutecki et al., 1971~. In humans, the daily urinary excretion of THP ranges from 20 to 200 mg with an average of about 2 might, or 93
From page 94...
... THP is an 85-lcD, 616-amino-acid mature protein with a 24-amino-acid leader sequence (Fletcher et al., 1970; Hession et al., 1987; ICumar and Muchmore, 1990~. It is homologous with the human low-density lipoprotein receptor, epidermal growth factor (EGF)
From page 95...
... Changes in renal THP have also been extensively found in patients with giomerular nephritis, the nephrotic syndrome, and in renal-allograft recipients. Although THP is the major protein in normal human urine, measures of its excretion have unknown utility as indexes of renal function or markers of ~ .
From page 96...
... Some recent innovations hold promise, but further technologic advances and clinical studies will be required before they can be applied in routine screening of urine samples. The use of monoclonal antibodies and immunohistochemical staining should malce it possible to distinguish among epithelial cells arising from individual nephron segments or structures of the lower urinary tract.
From page 97...
... Techniques of in situ hybridization have been widely disseminated in recent years for analyzing changes in gene expression that accompany tissue damage. Those methods of molecular biology have been applied successfully to the investigation of mechanisms of renal injury in tissue samples and should prove similarly useful in detecting abnormal gene expression or synthetic capacity among cells in urinary sediments.

From page 100...
... Urinary Enzymes The modern era of using urinary enzymes in the investigation and diagnosis of renal injury or disease was initiated by Rosall
From page 101...
... Theoretical and Diagnostic Importance The theoretical basis for recommending the use of urinary enzymes in assessing renal injury is well reasoned. Enzymes are uniquely distributed along the course of the nephron; at least 10 separate segments have been defined (Gucler and Ross, 1984~.
From page 102...
... might also contribute enzymatic activity to urine. Well over 100 urinary enzymes have been investigated for diagnostic use in various states of renal injury, although only a few have gained notable acceptance for routine clinical use.
From page 103...
... Because of diurnal variation, especially for NAG and AAP, the use of a concentration expression demands that similar collection intervals during the day be used if comparisons are to be useful. Another source of difficulty in the use of urinary enzymes arises from lack of information on several factors: What is the influence of aging on the excretion of urinary enzymes?
From page 104...
... For instance, many benign prostatic glands are larger than primary prostatic cancers, and many low-volume, high-grade prostatic cancers metastasize Worming et al., 1989, 1992; Wheeless et al., 1991, 1993~. Tumors commonly have abnormal 104 cell divisions that result in abnormal numbers of chromosomes, and therefore abnormal amounts of DNA, but it is difficult to estimate these with precision in hyperdiploid tumors when there are overlapping populations of cells.
From page 105...
... Superimposed on the diagram of the cell cycle are indications of where different proliferation markers are positive. PCNA and plO5 are positive in all cells that are not in GO, including the G1 transition phase.
From page 106...
... Clearly, the one feature of DNA ploidy analysis that consistently correlates with cancer survival involves cellproliferative rates. Biologic markers to assess populations of cells in each stage of the cell cycle accurately should prove beneficial in evaluating the efficacy of chemotherapy and predicting tumor aggressiveness.
From page 107...
... Dipstick Testing The sensitivity of dipstick and microscopic analysis for the detection of microhematuria is controversial, and the results afforded by the two methods have not always correlated. It has been estimated that a single-dipstick method for detecting blood in urine has a sensitivity of about 37% for detecting bladder cancer.
From page 108...
... 108 Markers in Occupationally Exposed Cohorts Several cohorts are being monitored nationally and internationally for bladder cancer with marIcers of varied effectiveness (Davies et al., 1988; hi Sant' Agnese, 1988; di S ant' Agnese and de Mesy Jensen, 1987; Doctor et al., 1986; Eaton et al., 1988~. The mariners include elements of conventional urinary cytology, the addition of DNA ploidy (to determine the presence of an excessive number of chromosome sets)
From page 109...
... Its introduction has highlighted a number of important issues with regard to biologic markers of effect, including health-care costs, its effective use, its sensitivity and specificity, and the relationship between cryptic and active disease. Current research into the molecular and cellular biology of the prostate and of growth regulation are expected to result in new tests with higher specificity and sensitivity that should permit individual risk assessment and differentiation of indolent and active disease.
From page 110...
... Scram Prostate-Specif~c Antigen Biologic markers of disease have been detected primarily in the serum and are nonspecific for malignancy, reflecting quantitative alterations in normal cellular constituents. Until recently, acid phosphatase, an enzyme normally expressecl in prostatic epithelial cells, was the principal serum biologic marker.
From page 111...
... Research on cytolceratins has focused on delineating the integrity of the basement membrane adjacent to the prostatic epithelial cells in normal tissue, benign lesions, premaTignant lesions, PIN, and malignant lesions. Studies with monoclonal antibodies, such as MH-903 (Shah et al., 1991)
From page 112...
... It is not known whether the biologically active form develops along a separate oncogenic pathway or occurs as an additional mutation in the low-grade form of the disease. In addition to oncogenes and growth factors, cancer research has focused on the tumor-suppressor genes.
From page 113...
... They reported that half of all clinically manifest tumors show neuroendocrine differentiation, and suggested that the cells are of greater prognostic value than conventional histopathologic grading systems. Cultured stromal and epithelial cells from prostatic cancer contain a protein-like nerve growth factor (NGF)
From page 114...
... Of great interest was the finding that 11 patients with IC had high urinary concentrations of neutrophi! chemotactic factors; but these were not found in patients with diseases other than IC or in interstitial-cystitis patients treated with the anti-inflammatory agent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
From page 115...
... A recent study of mariners of cellular activation in urothelial cells showed that urothelial ce lI s from interstitial -cystitis patients expressed increased HLA-DR but not increased ICAM- 1 or IL- 1 a (Lie bert et al., 1993~. Urothelial cells in culture respond to cytolcine stimulation in the same way as most epithelial cells that is, ICAM- 1 and HLA-DR increase simultaneously.
From page 116...
... Such a marlcer should be produced in the kidney and secreted into urine in a readily detectable form. Substantial changes in urinary concentration of the marIcer should correlate well with patho physiologic or histopathologic manifestations of renal injury.
From page 117...
... Of particular use in that regard would be a nonisotopic technique for analyzing iodothalamate or Cr-EDTA, both marIcers of glomerular filtration rate. There is no "ideal" marker, i.e., a single marlcer able to provide all the information necessary to identify people at risk.

Glomerular sites of synthesis of individual molecules have been relatively easy to identify because glomeruli are readily separated from other kidney tissue components for extractions, tissue culture, and other analytic procedures.
