[Activity of tubular enzymes and lipoperoxidation processes in patients with progressive diabethic nephropathy]
Abstract:
The article summarises data on the activity of tubular enzymes having marked organ-specific characteristics related to kidneys. They are N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), its thermostable isoenzyme NAG B and beta-galactosidase localised in lysosomes. L-canavinine, ornithine aminotransferase having mitochondrial localization have also been discussed in the article. The authors have dealt also with the activity of lipoperaxidation processes having been assessed by an ammount of malonic dialdehyde in blood serum, erythrocytes and urine of 51 patients with progressive diabetes mellitus at the late stages of diabetic nephropathy.
