Objective: The measurement of urinary Cystatin C (cyst-C) can be a very good way for early identifying newborns
predisposed to renal function impairment. PETIA, PENIA and EIA are the immunometric methods used for
quantitative determination of cyst-C in human biologic fluid but they have some interference and do not allow
realizing qualitative analysis. The present study performs a validation of Immunoblot SDS-PAGE for the analysis of
urinary cyst-C.
Methods: urines were collected from neonates of the nursey at S. Maria della Misericordia Hospital. Urinary cyst-C
was investigated by the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, the immunoblot and the reading of optical density.
Results: the qualitative analysis showed two different molecular forms: a reactivity at about 70 KDa in all samples and
a reactivity a.. View More»
