Abstract

The present invention provides a process and regent for analyzing annexin-V, wherein the measurement of a concentration of annexin-V can be easily carried out without need for addition of chemicals for inhibiting the bonding of various proteins with calcium ion and for adjusting a specimen solution to the specimen at a measuring stage, and a process and medicine for diagnosing an internal organ disorder based on the analyzing process and regent. A urine is brought into contact with an anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody to perform an antigen-antibody reaction of annexin-V in the urine with the anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody, thereby forming an annexin-V antigen/anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody complex, and the amount of the formed annexin-V antigen/anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody complex is quantitatively measured. Thus, it is possible to carry out the measurement of the concentration of annexin-V in the urine, and it is possible to carry out the diagnosis of an internal organ disorder such as a disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome, the diagnose of acute nephritis and the like by a analyzed value of concentration of annexin-V measured in the urine.
