Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder affecting the transport of cationic amino acids. Elevated plasma zinc concentrations have been described in patients with LPI. Calprotectin is a calcium- and zinc-binding protein, produced by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes. Both zinc and calprotectin have an important role in immune system. In this study, we describe plasma zinc and plasma calprotectin concentrations in Finnish LPI patients. Plasma calprotectin concentration was measured from 10 LPI patients using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and it was remarkably high in all LPI patients (median: 622 338 μg/L) compared to that in healthy controls (608 μg/L). Plasma zinc concentration was measured by photometry and it was normal or only mildly elevated (median: 14.9 μmol/L). All the patients had decreased glomerular infiltration rate (median: 50 mL/min/1.73 m²). In conclusion, we observed extremely high plasma calprotectin concentration in patients with LPI. Mechanism of this phenomenon is unknown.
