Alpha-1-antichymotrypsin levels in apparently normal adult blood donors and in disease conditions
Serum alpha-l-antichymotrypsin (ACT) levels were determined by single radial immunodiffusion in two hundred (200) apparently healthy blood donors and in one hundred patients with the following diseases - nephrotic syndrome 38, multiple myeloma 30, hepatoma 17, prostatic carcinoma 17 and lymphoma 5....

| description | Serum alpha-l-antichymotrypsin (ACT) levels were determined by single radial immunodiffusion in two hundred (200) apparently healthy blood donors and in one hundred patients with the following diseases - nephrotic syndrome 38, multiple myeloma 30, hepatoma 17, prostatic carcinoma 17 and lymphoma 5. The mean and standard deviation obtained were control 156 ± 71.2 ug/ml, nephrotic syndrome 197.6 ± 112.1 ug/ml, multiple myeloma 220.2 ± 162.4 ug/ml, prostatic carcinoma 465.4 ± 138.1 ug/ml, hepatoma 466.1 ± 143.9 ug/ml and lymphoma 331.2 ± 88.5 ug/ml. When compared with the control these figures were found to be statistically significantly higher (p < 0.0001).
It is possible that the measurement of this acute phase protein could be of prognostic value. |
