description: | Clara cell 16-kDa protein (CC16) is a protein expressed primarily by the bronchial cells. It is rapidly eliminated by glomerular filtration, reabsorbed almost entirely, and catabolized in proximal tubule cells. To date, normal values for urinary CC16 in healthy children have not been determined. We have studied 63 pediatric patients (mean age 8.17 ± 3.91 years) and 31 healthy children (control group; mean age 8.83 ± 3.65 years). In the control group, the CC16/creatinine ratio was 1.22 ± 1.52 μg/g. In 16 out of 31 control children, the value of the ratio was zero. Fourteen patients (22.2%) showed a high CC16/creatinine ratio; in contrast, among these same patients, the ratio N-acetyl-β- d -glucosaminidase (NAG)/creatinine was elevated in seven cases (11.1%) and the ratio β2-microglobulin/creatinine was elevated in seven cases (11.1%). The three parameters were in agreement in 51 patients (80.9%). Among the patients, the CC16/creatinine ratio was correlated with both the β2-microglobulin/creatinina ratio ( r = 0.76, P |
