[The variation of 16 serum protein fractions following renal transplantation (author's transl)].

We have investigated 16 serum proteins in 20 patients with stable renal function after renal transplantation. Our investigations have shown the following substantial findings: a regular increase of prealbumin, alpha1-glycoprotein, haptoglobin, hemopexin and beta2-glycoprotein, as well as a rather frequent increase of alpha 2-macroglobulin. As far as variations of the serum protein levels are concerned there was no correlation with kidney disease, accompanying illnesses, therapy or interval since transplantation.
