Urinary enzymes and microalbuminuria as biomarkers of renal dysfunction after contrast administration
Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common complication after administration of intravenous iodinated contrast media. The present study evaluated the usefulness of urinary beta-N-acetyl D-glucosaminidase (uNAG), alkaline phosphatase (u-ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (u-LDH) as markers of tubular injury and urinary microalbumin (u-MA) as a marker of glomerular injury for early di...
متن کاملUrinary enzymes and low-molecular-mass proteins as indicators of diabetic nephropathy.
We measured the excretion rates of six urinary enzymes that either originate from the proximal renal tubule, like alanine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.2), alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), gamma-glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.2), and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.30), or that are typical low-molecular-mass proteins, like lysozyme (EC 3.2.1.17) and pancreatic ribonuclease (EC 3.1.27.5)....
متن کاملUrinary proteins and enzymes as early indicators of renal dysfunction in chronic exposure to cadmium.
We tested the diagnostic sensitivity of various urinary analytes for detecting cadmium-induced nephropathy at an early stage. We investigated 73 healthy persons (control group 1) and individuals exposed to cadmium, either environmentally (n = 36, risk group 2) or occupationally (n = 62, exposed group 3). All data were related to limits of the central 95% reference intervals of the control group...
متن کاملRosiglitazone improves glomerular hyperfiltration, renal endothelial dysfunction, and microalbuminuria of incipient diabetic nephropathy in patients.
Microalbuminuria, an early feature of diabetic nephropathy, indicates intrarenal endothelial damage. In type 2 diabetes, microalbuminuria is strongly related to insulin resistance. We therefore investigated whether rosiglitazone, an insulin-sensitizing drug that is known to improve endothelial dysfunction, was able to improve intrarenal endothelial dysfunction and microalbuminuria. Nineteen typ...
متن کاملComparison of Diagnostic Value of Intrarenal Doppler Indices and Microalbuminuria for Detection of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type II Diabetic Patients
Background & Aims: Diabetes is the most common cause of renal insufficiency throughout the world. The main cause of renal failure in diabetic patients is microvascular endothelial injuries that is secondary to atherosclerosis and ischemia. The efficacy of renal Doppler indices such as resistive index (RI) and pulsetile index (PI) for the evaluation of intrarenal arteries has been shown. This st...
