Altered urinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) has been reported in patients with nephrolithiasis, with chronic glomerulonephritis, and incipient diabetic nephropathy, but evaluation of urinary GAG has not been reported in infections and proliferating diseases of the urinary tract. Urinary excretion of GAG was measured in 50 patients with idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis (ICN) of whom 20 had associated urinary tract infection, in 20 subjects with recurrent infection of the urinary tract (UTI), and in 18 patients with bladder papillomatosis. Mean values were significantly lower in ICN, increased in papillomatosis, and in the normal range in UTI.

D003928 Diabetic Nephropathies KIDNEY injuries associated with diabetes mellitus and affecting KIDNEY GLOMERULUS; ARTERIOLES; KIDNEY TUBULES; and the interstitium. Clinical signs include persistent PROTEINURIA, from microalbuminuria progressing to ALBUMINURIA of greater than 300 mg/24 h, leading to reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE.

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
D006025 Glycosaminoglycans Heteropolysaccharides which contain an N-acetylated hexosamine in a characteristic repeating disaccharide unit. The repeating structure of each disaccharide involves alternate 1,4- and 1,3-linkages consisting of either N-acetylglucosamine (see ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE) or N-acetylgalactosamine (see ACETYLGALACTOSAMINE).
