Proteinuria in diabetics before and after treatment with the Biostator apparatus

: The authors present for the first time their results concerned with the determination of selective proteinurea by disc electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel in patients with insulin-dependent and insulin-independent diabetes mellitus with and without the clinical signs of kidney affection. A study was made of the uroproteinograms of these patients before and after the correction of carbohydrate metabolism by means of programmed insulin administration. A conclusion was made of a possibility to use the above method for early detection of diabetic nephropathies. Programmed insulin administration using the Biostator apparatus was shown to improve tubuloglomerular functions, that was expressed in the lowering of proteinurea and in some cases in the improving of the qualitative composition of uroproteins.
