title: [Changes in N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase in the urine of patients with pyelonephritis and glomerulonephritis].
abstract: The activity of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase) activity was determined in urine of patients with pyelonephritis and glomerulonephritis. Determination was done with the non-commercial "Boehringer-Mannheim" test reagents for research purposes only. The protein concentrations were measured in the same samples. The obtained results were compared with results obtained in the control group and the significant increase (p less than 0.001) in NAGase activity was found in both groups of patients. At the same time normal protein values were found in 33% of all cases. It can be concluded that NAGase is a more sensitive parameter for early detection of renal disease.
