Abstract
Serum and urine proteins were measured daily in 17 subjects undertaking a typical high altitude Himalayan trek. Marked changes occurred in a variety of serum proteins as a result of plasma volume alterations and 'stress'. There was only a sporadic increase in proteinuria. None of the changes was related to the development of acute mountain sickness.Entities:
