Urinary N-Acetyl-β-D-Glucosaminidase Excretion in Asphyctic Newborns-Does it Predict the Development of Acute Renal Failure?
Perinatal asphyxia is the major cause of acute renal failure (ARF) in neonates. The renal proximal tubules have a high metabolic activity and are extremely sensitive to hypoxia (1,2). Renal function deteriorates in a spectrum from mild tubular dysfunction to acute tubular necrosis depending on the severity of hpoxic insult. It is essential to evaluate renal function at an early stage to stabili...
متن کاملExcretion of urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase isoenzymes after renal transplantation in the rat.
The urinary excretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase isoenzymes A and B following kidney transplantation was studied in rats. High enzymuria with permanent marked isoenzyme B excretion occurred from the immediate post-operative period to the irreversible rejection episode. Isoenzyme B could represent as much as 10-40% of total N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase activity and it reflected the in...
متن کاملNormal values for urinary N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase excretion in preterm and term babies.
Urinary N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG) excretion was measured in 14 healthy, preterm, male neonates with gestational ages between 32 and 35 weeks. Daily NAG excretion increased significantly during the first four weeks of life. No correlation was observed between urinary NAG:creatinine ratio and postnatal age regardless of whether measurements were taken from the whole 24 hour urine collec...
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...
