title: [Comparative study of the diagnostic value of disc electrophoresis of urinary proteins and measurement of the excretion of N-acetylglucosaminidase for the detection of renal tubule damage in chronic polyarthritis (author's transl)].
abstract: A method is described for the determination of the enzyme N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase in gel-filtered urine. The individual reaction parameters were tested, and the reliability of the method was determined. The stability of the enzyme in urine was investigated at different temperatures over a 6 week period. The excretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, like the analysis of urinary proteins by disc electrophoresis, is a sensitive parameter for renal damage. The two methods were compared, using 50 random urine samples from patients with chronic polyarthritis; both methods were found to have equal diagnostic value.
