muramidase and Anuria

With the help of the haemofiltration on the capillary dialysator CDAK 4 the behaviour of lysozyme (muramidase) was investigated in 20 dialysis patients. In 6 of 55 cases a measurable lysozyme concentration in the haemofiltrate was found. A relation to the size of the serum lysozyme level could not be established. The influence of defective capillaries is discussed. Despite the in most cases not measurable lysozyme concentrations in the haemofiltrate a decrease of the serum lysozyme level taking place parallel to creatinine could be proved during dialysis. Examinations of the influence of the renal rest function in dialysis patients with a rest diuresis resulted in a lower lysozyme concentration in the serum than in patients with complete anuria. These findings allow conclusions to the behaviour of low-molecular proteins in the kidney of dialysis patients and to their losses on the dialysis membrane.
