Renal failure due to verotoxin-producing E. coli, inspection method of hemolytic uremic syndrome and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infection

摘要

Provides an early diagnostic method for renal failure, hemolytic uremic syndrome and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infection and a diagnostic method for severity of these diseases. The detection or excretion of AQP2 and / or its derived molecules into the urine of the examinee is quantified or quantified to determine the severity of the affected person to the renal disorder, hemolytic uremic syndrome or enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infection. An immunochemical method using an antibody that specifically recognizes AQP2 is preferably used for detection and quantification.
