N2 - To the Editor:In the June 18 article by Rodríguez-Iturbe et al.,1 the authors acknowledged that they could not disregard the possibility that lipid peroxides contributed to the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactivity that was presumed to represent a measure of neuraminic acid levels in the serum of patients with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, but that they believed this to be unlikely. There is a good a priori reason to believe that lipid peroxidation products such as malondialdehyde (which is known to react with TBA) were present in abnormal concentrations in the blood of these patients. The deposition of immune complexes in.
