Urinary alpha-1-acid glycoprotein is a sensitive marker of glomerular protein leakage at altitude. High Alt Med Biol. 19:295–298, 2018.—Proteinuria is an established feature of ascent to altitude and may be caused by a loss of negative charges on glomerular capillary walls (GCWs). To test this hypothesis, we measured two similar sized but oppositely charged proteins in urine: negatively charged alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (α1-AGP, 41–43 kDa) and positively charged dimeric lambda free light chains (λ-FLCs, 50 kDa). Twenty-four-hour urinary leakage was compared with albumin, a 66 kDa negatively charged protein. We studied 23 individuals (ages 23–78 years, male = 17) at baseline (140 m) and daily during an expedition to 5035 m. The results showed a significant increase in median urinary leakage of α1-AGP (p < 0.0001; 6.85-fold) and albumin (p = 0.0006; 1.65-fold) with ascent to altitude, but no significant increase in leakage of λ-FLCs (p = 0.39; 1.14-fold). α1-AGP correlated with the daily ascent profile (p = 0.0026) and partial pressure of oxygen (p = 0.01), whereas albumin showed no correlation (p = 0.19). Urinary α1-AGP was a more sensitive marker of altitude proteinuria than urinary albumin and λ-FLCs, and supported the possibility of loss of GCW negative charges at altitude.
