OBJECTIVE
N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) is a lysosomal enzyme of which the activity in plasma is increased in a number of conditions including myocardial infarction. Plasma levels of cardiac proteins, such as myoglobin, troponin and creatine kinase, have been used as markers of myocardial
The objective of the study was to investigate whether the lysosomal enzyme, N-Acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) activity is increased in plasma of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to determine if there is any association between plasma levels of NAG and severity of myocardial
OBJECTIVE
To analyze prospectively the importance of urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), a marker for renal tubular function, in comparison with urinary albumin excretion (UAE), a marker for glomerular renal function, with respect to macrovascular disease in elderly patients with type 2
Albuminuria is a well known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality, but focus on renal tubular dysfunction as a potential risk factor is growing also. The association between the urinary activity of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and cardiovascular risk has been assessed mostly in
The effect of IABP on renal function were studied in 41 patients who underwent cardiac operation. Eight of the 41 patients were acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 4 were unstable angina, and 29 were postoperative low cardiac output syndrome (LOS). In 12 patients with AMI and unstable angina, an IABP
OBJECTIVE
CKD is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death. We investigated whether select urine kidney injury biomarkers were associated with higher risk of heart failure (HF), CVD, and death in persons with CKD enrolled in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is often underdiagnosed due to several limitations of the renal marker creatinine. Tubular urinary biomarkers may substantially contribute to diagnose acute kidney injury AKI early.For early detection of AKI, we evaluated for the Three urinary lysosomal enzymes, beta-glucuronidase (beta-Gluc), beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal) and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), were measured in twenty-one renal allograft recipients to evaluate their role in the diagnosis and prediction of rejection episodes, and in the prediction of
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by a destruction of pancreatic cells, which leads to absolute insulin deficiency. Persistently high glycaemia causes vascular damage throughout the body. Microvascular complications com-prise the following: nephropathy,
BACKGROUND
To improve outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), it is important to identify prognostic factors for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as well as cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study assessed urinary concentrations of albumin, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and
