Urinary amino acid excretion in subjects with leukaemia

Maureen B Lee 1, D W Neill 1, J M Bridges 1
PMCID: PMC473423  PMID: 5225727

Abstract

Urinary amino acid chromatograms were studied from 33 patients with various types of leukaemia and 71 control subjects. Marked variations were found in the excretion of methionine, threonine, valine, leucine, tyrosine, histidine, and aspartic acid.
