We studied the urinary elimination of two indicators of renal proximal tubular function. N-Acetyl-Gluosaminidase (NAG) and beta 2 microglobulin (beta 2m) in 23 healthy and 67 diabetic children aged 2-15 years and with disease evolution times between 1 month and 12 years. In order to obviate the variations of glomerular filtration present in the diabetes, both proteins were evaluated in the form of indices of excretion (IE). It was found that the diabetic children as a whole presented higher values of NAGIE than the controls (p less than 0.001), and that this increased as the degree of metabolic control worsened, the latter being judged by either fructosamin or HbA C (r = 0.59 for both). The increase in the urinary elimination of NAG had a directly proportional relation with the evolution time of the diabetes. With respect to the beta 2mIE, no significant differences were found on dividing the children according to the degree of metabolic control, although the values did increase with longer evolution times. Thus it may be concluded that NAGIE was shown to be a more useful parameter than beta 2m for evaluating the renal proximal tubular function in infant and juvenile diabetes.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

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
