Abstract
Measurement of Ig[immunoglobulin]G antibodies to Tamm-Horsfall protein (ATHA) in 92 bacteriuric schoolgirls aged 5-12 did not show a significant rise compared with the titers found in the sera of 24 healthy controls. ATHA titers showed no correlation with the presence of vesicoureteric reflux or kidney scarring. Measurement of serum ATHA is of no value as a screening procedure for the detection of vesicoureteric reflux.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
