Association between urinary N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase and its isoenzyme patterns and microangiopathy in type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Urinary N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG) and its isoenzymes (NAG A and NAG B) in samples from 87 type 1 diabetic patients and 40 apparently healthy reference subjects were studied with enzyme immunoassays. The diabetic patients had higher concentrations of urinary NAG than did the control subjects (P less than 0.01), but the isoenzyme pattern did not differ. There was a positive correlation ...
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 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 کاملUrinary Activities of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase and Its Isoenzyme B in Cadmium-Exposed Rats
This paper aims to assess the relationship between the urinary activity of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and its isoenzyme B (NAG-B) and cadmium (Cd) concentration in the urine as well as to evaluate which of these lysosomal enzymes may be a more useful biomarker for the monitoring of Cd-induced tubular damage. For this purpose we have used an experimental model in rats chronically exposed...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Tubulointerstitial Lesions, Urinary N-Acetyl-β-d-Glucosaminidase, and Urinary β2-Microglobulin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Biopsy-Proven Diabetic Nephropathy.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Some biomarkers of renal tubular injury are reported to be useful for predicting renal prognosis in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Our study compared predictions of the renal prognosis by such biomarkers and by histologic tubulointerstitial damage. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Among 210 patients with type 2 diabetes and biopsy-proven D...
