orosomucoid

All patients with ulcerative colitis were in clinical remission and had normal levels of haemoglobin, C-reactive protein, and serum orosomucoid.

Orosomucoid and antitrypsin migrate together but orosmucoid stains poorly so alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT) constitutes most of the alpha-1 band.

Disease activity was indicated by the following: increased stool frequency, abdominal pain, weight loss, growth failure, raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), raised serum orosomucoid, and reduced serum albumin concentration.
