Plasma beta-carotene and retinol assay was performed by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) in subjects with chronic renal failure or liver cirrhosis. In the same subjects blood prealbumin (PA) and retinol binding protein (RBP) were determined by immunological technique. A considerable increase of retinol and in a lesser extent of beta-carotene was noted in the blood of patients with renal insufficiency. In cirrhotic patients it was shown a marked decrease both of beta-carotene and retinol plasma concentrations. PA and RBP there were greatly increased in renal failure and decreased in liver cirrhosis. This results suggest that kidney and liver chronic failure interfere with vitamin A metabolism throughout their action on metabolic processes of synthesis and elimination of PA and RBP.
