Birmingham Medical Research Expeditionary Society 1977 Expedition: serum and urine proteins during a high altitude trek

A R Bradwell. Postgrad Med J. 1979 Jul.

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.
