Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), lactase dehydrogenase (LDH), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), haptoglobin, fibrinogen, CH50, Blc-globulin (C3), B1E-globulin (C4), T-cell, B-cell and phytohemagglutinin (PHA) were evaluated in 82 patients with renal cell carcinoma. Positive rates of ESR, LDH, CEA, haptoglobin, fibrinogen, CH50, C3, C4, T-cell, B-cell and PHA were 58.9, 27.1, 33.9, 21.9, 55.8, 34.2, 33.3, 34.8, 15.3, 8.0 and 39.1%, respectively. Positive rates of all serological tests in high stage (stage III and stage IV) renal cell carcinoma were higher than those of the low stage (stage I and stage II) group. Positive rates of ESR, fibrinogen, CEA, haptoglobin, C3 and C4 in the high stage group were 86.1, 81.8, 54.1, 57.1, 53.3 and 60.0% respectively. The level of ESR, LSH, CEA, fibrinogen, haptoglobin and CH50 were significantly elevated (p less than 0.001) above the normal value. Each serological test was not significantly elevated pre- or postoperatively, but in all serological tests, postoperative values were lower than the preoperative values. ESR (less than 100 mm/hour), and CEA in the positive group correlated significantly with poor prognosis (p less than 0.005). Haptoglobin and C3 in positive group also showed a significantly poor prognosis (p less than 0.05). In conclusion ESR and fibrinogen were thought to be useful for screening renal cell carcinoma patients ESR, CEA, haptoglobin, fibrinogen and C3 for estimation of staging, and ESR, CEA, haptoglobin and C3 for estimation of prognosis.
