title: [Urinary lacticodehydrogenase activity in the normal and hypertensive subject, in glomerular tubule disease, and in renal and vescical cancer].
abstract: Urinary lacticodehydrogenase activity was determined in normal subjects and the results were compared with those observed in the more common renal diseases, in kidney and bladder tumours, and in arterial hypertension without nephropathic complications. A constant and well-defined increase was note in all serious diseases forms, particularly in tumours. Hypertension per se, however, was not accompanied by changes in normal enzyme excretion. Processing of the data indicated that this test might be of assistance in routine examinations for serious urinary diseases, especially cancer.
