[Urinary guanidinosuccinic acid in uremic children]. / L'acido guanidinosuccinico urinario in soggetti uremici in eta' pediatrica.

ABSTRACT

Urinary guanidinosuccinic acid (GSA) was measured in pediatric age six normal subjects, six chronically uremic patients and five with acute renal failure. Urinary GSA was increased in uremic patients as compared to that in normal subjects: our levels was less than in the growth-up people. These differences might be correlated with different protein metabolism in children.
