Diagnostic value of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase for the early prediction of acute kidney injury after percutaneous nephrolithotripsy
The present observational study was undertaken in order to evaluate the diagnostic value of urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) for the prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNL). Pre- and post-operative patient data were collected for 90 patients who underwent PNL between September 2008 and December 2010. The patients included 64 males...
متن کاملIs urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase a marker of urological abnormality in children?
Abstract Background: Hydronephrosis is the most common congenital condition that is detected by prenatal ultrasonography. Moreover, the widespread use of prenatal ultrasonography results in an increased recognition of fetal hydronephrosis. Prenatal hydronephrosis is diagnosed at an incidence of 1:100 to 1:500 by ultrasonographic studies. The presence of hydronephrosis is not synonymou...
متن کاملThe clinical value of urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase levels in childhood age group.
N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase is a high molecular-weight lysosomal enzyme found in many tissues of the body. It cannot pass into glomerular ultrafiltrate due to its high molecular weight. However, this enzyme shows high activity in renal proximal tubular cells, and leaks into the tubular fluid as the ultrafiltrate passes through proximal tubules. When proximal tubular cells are injured due to...
متن کاملUrinary biomarker N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase can predict severity of renal damage in diabetic nephropathy
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy is a clinical diagnosis where proteinuria is present in a patient with diabetes. Early intervention can significantly improve the prognosis. However, imprecision of the currently available biomarkers have impaired effective therapies in a timely manner. Urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) is excreted in abnormally high amounts in many renal diseases. The a...
متن کاملDown-regulation of β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase increases Akt1 activity in thyroid anaplastic cancer cells.
O-GlcNAcylation is a common and dynamic modification of intracellular proteins in which β-N-acetyl-glucosamine moieties are attached to hydroxyl groups of serine or threonine residues (O-GlcNAc). Accumulating evidence suggests the critical role of protein O-GlcNAcylation in signal transduction, transcriptional control, cell cycle regulation and protein degradation. However, the exact role of O-...
