beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (beta-NAG) and beta 2-microglobulin were assessed in two cohorts of patients with glomerular or tubulointerstitial diseases respectively. While beta-NAG activities did not differ statistically significantly between both groups, beta 2-microglobulin excretion was statistically highly significantly increased in the setting of tubulointerstitial diseases. On the whole mean beta-NAG activity at 37 degrees C and beta 2-microglobulin urinary excretion were elevated in both groups, when compared to normal controls. Increased beta-NAG activities above 10 U/g creatinine were associated with a marked increase of creatinine serum levels within 6 months in both, patients with glomerular and tubulointerstitial basic renal diseases. beta-NAG and beta 2-microglobulin are useful tools in diagnosis and assessment of renal diseases elucidating different aspects.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007677 Kidney Function Tests Laboratory tests used to evaluate how well the kidneys are working through examination of blood and urine. Function Test, Kidney,Function Tests, Kidney,Kidney Function Test,Test, Kidney Function,Tests, Kidney Function
D009395 Nephritis, Interstitial Inflammation of the interstitial tissue of the kidney. This term is generally used for primary inflammation of KIDNEY TUBULES and/or surrounding interstitium. For primary inflammation of glomerular interstitium, see GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. Infiltration of the inflammatory cells into the interstitial compartment results in EDEMA, increased spaces between the tubules, and tubular renal dysfunction.

D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis. These structural and functional abnormalities usually lead to HEMATURIA; PROTEINURIA; HYPERTENSION; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Bright Disease,Kidney Scarring,Glomerulonephritides,Scarring, Kidney

D000118 Acetylglucosaminidase A beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-glucose residues in chitobiose and higher analogs as well as in glycoproteins. Has been used widely in structural studies on bacterial cell walls and in the study of diseases such as MUCOLIPIDOSIS and various inflammatory disorders of muscle and connective tissue.

D001613 beta 2-Microglobulin An 11-kDa protein associated with the outer membrane of many cells including LYMPHOCYTES. It is the small subunit of MHC CLASS I MOLECULES. Association with beta 2-microglobulin is generally required for the transport of class I heavy chains from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface. Beta 2-microglobulin is present in small amounts in serum, CEREBROSPINAL FLUID, and urine of healthy individuals, and to a much greater degree in the urine and plasma of patients with tubular PROTEINURIA, renal failure, or kidney transplants. Thymotaxin,beta 2 Microglobulin
