The Relationship between Renal Function and Plasma Concentration of the Cachectic Factor Zinc-Alpha2-Glycoprotein (ZAG) in Adult Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Figure 2
Plasma ZAG concentration increases during hemodialysis session.
ZAG concentration was quantified by enzyme immunoassay before and after an hemodialysis session in ESRD patients (N = 8). ZAG concentrations were corrected for hemoconcentration as described in methods. Differences between pre and post dialysis concentrations were considered significant at the P<0.05 level (Wilcoxon test for paired samples). Abbreviation: HD, hemodialysis.
