| Popis: | Increased concentrations of urinary α1-microglobulin may imply proximal tubular damage (1). α1-Microglobulin has generally been considered to be stable in human urine (1)(2). Tencer et al. (2) observed good stability in 10 urine samples stored at room temperature for 7 days, at 4 °C for 30 days, and at −20 °C for 6 months. In contrast, Donaldson et al. (3) noted significant losses of α1-microglobulin in urine stored at −20 °C and that this problem was exacerbated in more acidic (pH |
