The diagnostic value of enzymuria, cell excretion, and proteinuria in experimental renal diseases.
Enzymuria, urinary cell excretion and proteinuria were simultaneously determined in renal diseases of female Wistar rats in order to investigate the diagnostic value of urinary enzymes. Investigations were carried out on rats with E. coli-pyelonephritis facilitated by oestradiolundecylate, aminonucleoside nephrosis, aminoglycoside induced renal lesions and pyelonephritic animals treated with therapeutic and toxic doses of tobramycin. --From the results of these studies it was concluded that the main diagnostic value of urinary enzymes is detection of drug induced tubular lesions in individuals with preexisting renal diseases.
