Serum Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) levels were measured in 157 infants and children, 46 cord blood samples and 75 adults using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. THP levels increased significantly across the age groups, suggesting a positive relationship with age. There was a strong positive relationship between serum THP and estimated glomerular filtration rate among children with chronic renal failure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
