Popis: | Some organic acids which inhibit binding of small ligands to plasma, so called protein binding inhibitors (PB-Ix), accumulate in body fluids of patients with renal failure. PB-Ix are believed to bind to sites on the surface of albumin and inhibit its detoxification, transport and reservoir functions1)2)3). They may play a wider toxic role, such as immunosuppression in uremic patients. PB-Ix have been shown to inhibit the mitogenic activity of lymphocytes4). |
