Plasma fibronectin concentration in patients admitted to intensive care unit.

The plasma fibronectin level was determined by immunoelectrophoresis in patients under intensive care. The decrease in plasma fibronectin concentration was most pronounced in patients with sepsis and DIC. Survival of these patients was related to the extent of decrease of the plasma fibronectin concentration. Burn injury and the associated surgical treatment were followed by a decrease in fibronectin concentration which then normalized in 24-48 h after the burn injury. It is concluded that serial determinations of plasma fibronectin are essential for studying the relation of a low plasma fibronectin with the clinical condition.

Plasma fibronectin concentration in patients with chronic renal failure and treated with haemodialysis.

By quantitative electroimmunoassay the plasma fibronectin concentration was determined in 42 patients with chronic renal failure and treated with haemodialysis. The plasma fibronectin concentration was significantly reduced, independent of the haemodialysis, compared to a control group. Delayed wound healing seen in patients with chronic renal failure might be a result of the reduced plasma fibronectin.

Plasma fibronectin concentration in normal subjects.

The plasma concentration of fibronectin was determined in 374 normal subjects, newborn to 85 years of age, by quantitative electroimmunoassay. The plasma fibronectin concentration was higher in males than in females and the concentration increased with age. No day to day or diurnal variation was found. Different stabilizers of blood did not influence the results.
